04.05.2016
Bangladesh police were investigating a new hit-list on Tuesday that includes the head of a university, journalists and ruling party officials, after a series of gruesome killings.
Police said they were taking seriously the threat to kill 10 people listed in a leaflet that was sent to a press club in the northwestern town of Natore on Monday by a hitherto unknown group. Among those named was the head of Rajshahi University, where a liberal professor was hacked to death by suspected Islamists less than two weeks ago. The leaflet bears the name of Islami Liberation Front. It said it has launched a mission to kill the 10 people, Natore police chief Shymal Kumar Mukherjee told journalists. We don t know anything about this group. There are no previous information about this group. We have taken the matter seriously, he said.
