Morphine Prince 109,681 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — As many as nine gunmen attacked a restaurant popular with foreigners in a diplomatic zone of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka on Friday night, taking hostages, killing two officers and wounding at least 26 people in a gunbattle with security forces, authorities and a witness said. Police said the two officers died at a hospital after being wounded in the exchange of gunfire with the attackers, who also hurled bombs. Ten of the 26 wounded were listed in critical condition, six of whom were on life support, according to hospital staff, who said the injuries ranged from broken bones to gunshot wounds. Only one civilian was among the wounded. A huge contingent of security forces, wearing flak jackets and helmets, cordoned off the area around the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka's Gulshan area. A local resident Lutful Amin told the AP he heard several explosions, the last of which went off around 10:45 p.m., about 90 minutes after the initial attack. The Islamic State group's Amaq News Agency said "Islamic State commandos" carried out the restaurant attack, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist activity online. Bangladesh authorities did not immediately respond to the claim, but in the past have denied that the extremist group has a presence in the country. The U.S. State Department said it had seen the IS claim, but could not confirm its authenticity.

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Two police officers reported being killed now. Isn't this weekend the most holiest of time of Ramadan...or something of that nature? This month is supposedly particularly violent with the last ten days and last weekend being the best time for radicals to kill themselves in acts of terror...or some crazy thinking like that.

Literally zero basis for that. Idk where did you hear that. The whole month is about fasting, praying, abstaining from sin, giving charity and helping people. Last ten days are about more night prayers. It has nothing to do with violence. What they're doing is clearly prohibited. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
