Karl Marx Beheads Journalist

Yesterday I ran with this story about the murder of Bangladeshi journalist Dipankar Chakrabarty. Since Bangladesh is a Muslim country, and beheading has long since been used as a form of punishment under Sharia law, I jumped to the conclusion that this was the work of radical Islamists. Jane points out that Rezwan of 3rd World View blogs from Bangladesh and notes that several other journalists in the area have been murdered by Marxist rebels. My bad. I'll have to add Commies to my list of suspects the next time another beheading video emerges.
