Blogger country’s fourth killed this year

Police say assailants entered an apartment building posing as potential tenants and killed a secular blogger in the fourth such deadly attack this year. Police official Mustafizur Rahman said 40- year- old Niloy Chowdhury was killed in his apartment on Friday. The motive was not immediately clear and no one claimed responsibility for the death. Chowdhury’s friends said he was a secular blogger and had a Facebook account with the name “Niloy Neel” in which he criticized radical Islamists at home and abroad. The killing is the fourth of a blogger since February, when a Bangladeshi-American who was also critical of Islam was hacked to death on a street in Dhaka.
