an online news portal affiliated with Radio Free Asia, reached predominantly Muslim audiences in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

BenarNews investigated violent extremism and its consequences in programs such as Torn Lives, which highlighted the human cost of extremist violence in Asia; and Dangerous Words, which focused on the 2016 blogger murders in Bangladesh. BenarNews also provided extensive coverage of the ISIS-claimed terrorist attack in Dhaka in July 2016.This section is provided by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)
