20 hostages dead after terrorist standoff in Bangladesh capital ends

What the scene outside of a hostage situation in Bangladesh looked like

Gunmen stormed into a restaurant near multiple embassies in Dhaka for a siege that lasted 12 hours. Police killed six attackers and rescued 13 people, and at least one assailant was reported in custody.
A 12-hour standoff with assailants that had taken hostages at a Dhaka restaurant ended early Saturday when Bangladeshi police stormed the business, killing six attackers and rescuing 13 hostages, but 20 of the captives and two police officers were reportedly killed. At least one of the assailants has been reportedly taken into custody.
The assailants took control of the popular Holey Artisan Bakery at 9:20 p.m. Friday, reportedly chaning “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) as they fired their weapons. A media group online linked to the Islamic State took credit for the attack, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist activity. It's not clear, though, that the organization has a genuine operational presence in the country.
The slain hostages are believed to be all or mostly foreigners. They include Italians, Japanese, Bangladeshis and one Indian, according to the Associated Press. The restaurant is located in an upscale Dhaka neighborhood where many foreign embassies are located.
Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni has said nine Italians are among the dead, according to the AP. He also said one Italian citizen is still unaccounted for. And Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Saturday night that five Japanese men and two women had also died in the attack.
Earlier reports said South Koreans were believed to be among the victims, but South Korea’s Foreign Ministry says Bangladeshi officials have told them that no South Koreans are among the dead or injured, according to the AP.
Three U.S. college students are also being reported as victims.
Emory University president James Wagner said in emails to employees that Faraaz Hossain and Abinta Kabir were killed, according to the AP. Both were students at the Atlanta school's Oxford College.
Kabir, who university officials say was from Miami, was visiting family and friends in Bangladesh when she was taken hostage and killed. Hossain had completed his second year at Emory and was headed to the business school in the fall.
According to CNN, University of California at Berkeley student, Tarushi Jain, a 19-year-old Indian national, was the third U.S. student killed.

According to Rukmini Callimachi, The New York Times correspondent who focuses on Al Qaeda and ISIS, the Bangladesh attack claimed by ISIS is proving to be more sophisticated in terms of pre-planning than we have seen in the past.


According to Callimachi, 'in keeping with the modus operandi pushed last year by Abdelhamid Abaaoud, planner of the Paris attack, the assailants in Bangladesh created a hostage standoff. The purpose of a hostage standoff was to extend length of operation & thus extend the press coverage, as well as a chance to make demands."


"It now appears images of bodies lying in pools of blood next to bakery's ratan chairs were photographed by assailants and sent back to the IS. They may have tried to do this during the November 13 attack on Bataclan concert hall in Paris. Witnesses saw suicide bombers trying to get online," she said on Twitter.


While asserting that social media had now made even the smaller, regional acts very effective in spreading the message of terror, Callimachi said: "Survivors (in Paris) reported that suicide bombers seized their phones; tried to surf the net, but the 3G network was out. Two witnesses saw a bomber whip out a laptop. But they did not succeed in getting images out."


"But in Dhaka, they not only got images out but also details of the operation (turns out they were right when they said 20 people were killed). The information they fed out went straight to ISIS' core media operation, appearing in close to real time on ISIS' Amaq News Agency. One other aspect of planning: Like Paris attackers, they left behind images of themselves pre-attack. In this case posing next to IS flag."
