19 more receive death threats

http://www.dhakatribune.com/crime/2015/aug/13/19-more-receive-death-threats

A new radical Islamist group, Ittehadul Mujahideen, has emerged by issuing death threats against 19 noted personalities including politicians from Sylhet, teachers and bloggers for their alleged activities against Islam and madrasa education.

This is the fourth such letter issued since May mentioning a total of 48 persons.

The letter sent to online news outlet bdnews24.com yesterday first mentioned Niladri Chatterjee, who was brutally killed at his flat by four alleged militants on Friday. The name was struck through with a red pen. It said that the listed persons would have to die “for the sake of Almighty … and for insulting the Prophet.”

...

After the names, the letter contains the threat in the form of a poem: “Death will come one day friend, today or tomorrow. For the sake of Almighty we will take the life of His enemies. What is your identity if you do not cry for insult of the Prophet? Death will come one day friend, take the life of the enemy.”
