Unidentified attackers hacked a Christian convert to death this week in northern Bangladesh in the latest attack in the Muslim-majority country.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning in the northern city of Kurigram, where 68-year-old Hossain Ali was hacked to death by two assailants wielding machetes.
Tobarak Ullah, the police chief of Kurigram, told theAFP that the militants were able to carry out the heinous crime by using distractions and a getaway vehicle.
“He died on the spot. The attackers exploded a molotov cocktail to create panic and left the scene on a motorcycle,” Ullah said.
The police chief added that while Ali had converted to Christianity several decades ago, he was not necessarily an outspoken opponent of Islam, calling into question the motive behind the attack.
