Bangladesh blogger Niloy Neel hacked to death in Dhaka
A Bangladeshi blogger known for his atheist views has been hacked to death by a gang armed with machetes in the capital Dhaka, police say.
Police said about six attackers had tricked their way into Mr Neel's home by saying they were looking to rent a flat.
Note to Self:
1. Cancel any and all travel plans to Bangladesh.
2. Never become a landlord.
3. Avoid fanatically religious nutcases.
4. Be extra suspicious of six or more men armed with machetes.
5. Never become a blogger, especially an agnostic one with seriously atheist tendencies.
Hold on. What was that 5th one again? D'oh!
