USAID Worker and LGBT Editor Latest Victim in Islamist Assassinations



The crime came just two days after an ISIS-claimed attack on a professor, Rezaul Karim Siddique, who was hacked to death while waiting for a bus in Rajshahi. "ISIS fighters assassinated a university professor for calling to atheism in the city of Rajshahi in Bangladesh," said a statement from ISIS' Amaq News Agency. It wasn't clear what would have made them lash out at the English professor, who by accounts of those close to him wasn't political or atheistic but simply active in cultural events and music.
