The whole world has gasped in horror at the hacking to death
by machete-wielding terrorists of the secularist US-Bangladeshi blogger Avijit
Roy, close to the heavily-guarded university book fair in Dhaka.
Police witnessed the murder but the killers were allowed to
escape.
Extremist attacks on secularists and religious minorities
add an extra dimension to the loss of more than 100 lives in the violence
connected with blockades and demonstrations calling for new elections.
The Awami League
government and the opposition led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party must sit
down together and chart the way back towards democracy and a united front
against terrorism.
