Fatah's Armed
Militias Warn Israelis: "You Must Leave!"

Many in the international community often refer to the Palestinian Fatah
faction, which is headed by Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud
Abbas, as a "moderate" group that believes in Israel's right to
exist and the two-state solution.
What these people do not know is that Fatah, the largest faction of the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), consists of several groups that hold
different views than those expressed by Abbas and other English-speaking
Fatah officials.
Some of these Fatah groups do not believe in Israel's right to exist and
continue to talk about the "armed struggle" as the only way to
"liberate Palestine and restore Palestinian national rights."
One of these groups is called The Aqsa Martyrs Brigade - El Amoudi
Brigade.
Murders in
Bangladesh, Government Looks the Other Way

A third brilliant blogger has been hacked to death in Bangladesh since
February. On May 9, Ananta Bijoy Das, a banker by profession, and a blogger,
was murdered, apparently by Islamist extremists.
Das was murdered in broad daylight on a busy street in the country's
fifth largest city, Sylhet. He had written for Mukto-Mona (Free Mind),
a website with which the Bangladeshi-American blogger, Abhijit Roy, had
worked before being hacked to death himself in February by machete-wielding
assailants.
Five weeks after Roy's death, yet another blogger, Oyasiqur Rahman, was
also brutally murdered by three men in Dhaka.
Their deaths echoed the murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider on February 15,
2013, and the stabbing in Bangladesh of Asif Mahiuddin in January 2013.
