Bangladesh arrests suspect in killing of US blogger

The arrest of Farabi Shafiur Rahman came four days after attackers wielding meat cleavers killed Roy, an outspoken atheist and critic of the intertwining of religion and politics, on a crowded footpath in the capital, said Mufti Mahmud Khan, a spokesman for the anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion.
Roy, a Bangladesh-born engineer with US citizenship, was killed on a visit from Georgia in the United States to attend Dhaka’s main book fair. He and his wife, Rafida Ahmed, were attacked after leaving the fair.
