A Sufi Muslim leader has been hacked to death near the north Bangladeshi town of Rajshahi in what police say may be another attack by Islamic extremists.
The body of Mohammad Shahidullah, 65, was found by villagers in a pool of blood in a mango grove, police say.
His murder comes amid rising concern over the rise in violence against religious minorities.
A wide range of people have been attacked in recent years including secularists, bloggers and academics.
Among more than 20 people killed by Islamic militant groups are members of religious minorities, although this is believed to be the first attack on a Sufi Muslim. [BBC] Read more
