Beheading of Christian is 2nd in Bangladesh

A Baptist lay pastor has been beheaded in Bangladesh, the second Christian leader to lose his life in that country in a year, according to a Christian news organization.

Dulal Sarkar was attacked by Muslim extremists as he returned home from discussing his faith with local villagers.

Abdul Gani, a prominent Christian and physician, was decapitated by a gang in September 2004. Gani was a counsel member of the Bangladesh Baptist Fellowship.
