In Bangladesh, miscreants have set fire to six more houses of the minority Hindu community in Nasirnagar upazilla of Brahmanbaria district in east-central part of the country early this morning. The attack comes less than four days after groups of people went on rampage in several areas of the upazila vandalising several temples and over 100 homes. <br/><br/>A Facebook post allegedly hurtful of Muslim religious sentiment was blamed for the Oct 30th mayhem. But the National Human Rights Commission appointed fact-finding panel expressed serious doubts about the alleged instigating Facebook post saying the accused Hindu fisherman appeared not to have the technical knowledge to manipulate a photo and post it on Facebook. The Commission has said that the mayhem appeared to be pre-planned with the ulterior motive of grabbing the land of the minority Hindu community.
