 By Ruma Paul DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladeshi opposition activists accused the government of cutting the power, Internet and cable connections at their leader's office on Saturday to pressure her into calling off a strike after days of violent anti-government protests. The disconnections were reported soon after the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Khaleda, called another 72-hour strike from Sunday morning along with its ongoing blockades of roads, railways and water routes. Senior ruling party member Hassan Mahmood earlier on Saturday warned that communications at Khaleda's office would be cut if she did not call off protests before school exams on Monday. "We have been asked to fix the line and we have restored the connection," an employee of the Dhaka Electric Supply Company said.

 By Kiyoshi Takenaka and Nobuhiro Kubo TOKYO (Reuters) - Islamic State militants said they had beheaded a second Japanese hostage, journalist Kenji Goto, prompting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to vow to step up humanitarian aid to the group's opponents in the Middle East and help bring his killers to justice. The hardline Islamist group, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq, released the video showing a hooded man standing over Goto with a knife to his throat, followed by footage of a head put on the back of a human body. Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani said the video appeared to be genuine. The video was released exactly a week after footage appearing to show the beheaded body of another Japanese hostage, Haruna Yukawa.
