A Hindu man’s home and a temple in Narail’s Lohagara in Bangladesh were allegedly set on fire on Friday over a Facebook post allegedly belittling Islam in the latest spate of violence targeting the religious minorities in the country. The attackers also hurled stones.
Police fired warning shots to disperse the mob that vandalised several homes and torched one of them in Digholia village on Friday evening, said Haran Chandra Paul, an inspector at the local police station.
Haran said a youth posted something to Facebook, triggering anger among Muslims, who later carried out the attack. Police took the youth Akash Saha, and his father Ashok Saha, in custody.

Leon Panetta said Iran war was not an unexpected risk. He pointed out that for years, US security officials have known Iran could disrupt global oil supplies by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, this was a well-known danger, but one that appears to have been overlooked in the current conflict.
