The Deaths of Five Atheist Activists Were “Isolated Incidents,” Says Bangladeshi Official
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/11/01/the-deaths-of-five-atheist-activists-were-isolated-incidents-says-bangladeshi-official/A day after the assassination of Faisal Arefin Dipon, a publisher who helped release books written by Dr. Avijit Roy (who was also assassinated) and who had ties to three other activists (who were also assassinated), a Bangladeshi official now says they had nothing to do with each other:

Funny how isolated incidents happen around Islam, Hinduism and Christianity.
