And then Banglashi people accuse
the US and EU as usual.
This is 3rd world obscurantist,
sectarian barbarism.
Then again, its Bangladesh, usual
undeveloped cases.

Bangladesh - At least 10 priests from different
churches have received death threats in the
northern Bangladeshi city of Rangpur, officials
have said.
Abdullah Al Faroque, the superintendent of
Rangpur police, told Al Jazeera on Friday that
the threats were issued in a single letter
addressed to the pastor of the Rangpur Baptist
Church.
The letter listed the names of the priests who
are working at churches in the city and its
surrounding areas, saying that they would be
killed one by one.



"We have already begun to investigate the
source of the letter," Faroque said.
Reverend Barnabas Hemron, the pastor,
received the letter on Thursday evening and
alerted the local police.
The unidentified sender said Bangladesh would
be governed under Muslim laws.
Faroque said the letter appeared to have been
sent from the Uttarpara village of Komolpur in
Dinajpur Sadar sub-district.
No panic
William Proloy Samadder, the organising
secretary of the Bangladesh Christian
Association (BCA), told Al Jazeera that the
threats have not created panic, but added that
security measures were being taken.
A local police station said they had deployed
policemen at the Baptist church that received
the letter and that plain-clothed policemen had
been stationed in the area.
According to BCA, Bangladesh has around
3,000 churches.
About 30 priests and other clergymen across
the country had restricted their movements due
to previous threats, Reverend John Sagor
Karmakar, assistant general secretary of
Bangladesh Baptist Church Sangha, told Al
Jazeera.
Earlier this month, unknown gunmen shot Piero
Parolari, an Italian doctor working as a
missionary in Dinajpur.
On October 5, pastor Luke Sarkar escaped an
attempt on his life when three men tried to slit
his throat in Pabna.
Parolari is now under treatment at the
Combined Military Hospital in Dhaka, while
Sarkar fled his area on October 28 without
informing anyone about where he was going.
