美國對孟加拉國活動人士，美使館僱員被殺事件提出譴責

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has condemned the murder of Bangladeshi gay rights activist Xulhaz Mannan, who was an employee of the U.S. embassy in Dhaka.

Kerry said in a statement late Monday: "We are profoundly saddened by the loss of one of our own in such a senseless act of violence." He also said Xulhaz "embodied the spirit of the people of Bangladesh and the pride with which they guard their traditions of tolerance, peace, and diversity."

Xulhaz and a companion were hacked to death by unidentified attackers on Monday.

A USAID official, Mannan, was at his home with his friend, Tanay Mojumdar, when five attackers arrived, disguised as couriers and pounced on them with machetes.

A security guard and a police officer- who tried to catch the assailants - were wounded in machete attacks.美國國務卿克里對孟加拉國同性戀權益活動人士曼南被謀殺一事提出譴責。曼南是美國駐達卡大使館的僱員。

克里星期一晚間發表聲明說，“我們對自己中的一員死於如此愚蠢的暴力而深感悲痛”。克里還說，曼南體現了孟加拉國人民的精神以及他們維護容忍、和平與多元化之傳統的驕傲。

曼南和一名同伴星期一被身份不明的襲擊者砍死。

曼南是美國國際發展署僱員，他和朋友莫朱姆達爾當時正在他的住所，被5名冒充送貨人的襲擊者用砍刀殺害。

事發時，一名保安和一名警察試圖抓住襲擊者，結果被砍傷。
