Dhaka Attack Italians Killed

Islamist terrorists tortured a group of Italians before killing them during an attack on a restaurant in the Bangladesh's capital Dhaka last week, a legal source said on Wednesday.

The bodies of nine Italians killed by Islamist militants who stormed an upmarket restaurant in the Bangladeshi capital last week were brought to Rome in a military plane on Tuesday.

Police were blocking all access to streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka's Gulshan, where heavily armed attackers, who all are from "good educational background", holed up overnight Friday, torturing and killing some of their captives including nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian teenager.

Nine Italians were killed in Friday's attack by Islamist terrorists in the Bangladeshi capital, with another Italian still unaccounted for, Italy's foreign minister said on Saturday.

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi condemned on Saturday a deadly attack in the Bangladeshi capital where suspected Islamist gunmen stormed into a cafe and killed 20 of the hostages inside, including some Italians.
