One of the latest victims in terrorists' targeted assassination campaign on writers and intellectuals they see as enemies of Islam is, in the words of the State Department, "a beloved member of our embassy family" who was editor of Bangladesh's first LGBT magazine.

 

Xulhaz Mannan, 35, and Mahbub Tonoy, 25, were in their apartment in Dhaka on Monday at about 5:30 p.m. when attackers posing as delivery couriers gained entry.

 

A building security guard told the Dhaka Tribune that there were six assailants in their 20s. Three of them followed the guard as he went to Mannan's apartment to ask if he was expecting a package. Mannan said he wasn't and tried to shut the door, but the men hit the guard on the head and forced their way inside.

 

They attacked Mannan and Tonoy with machetes; the former's mother and a maid were in different rooms inside the apartment, but by the time they came to see what was going on the attackers were on their way out, chanting "Allahu Akbar."Scissors-32x32.png
