BEIRUT: The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a gun attack Friday on a restaurant in Bangladesh’s capital popular with foreigners that sparked a deadly firefight with police, an IS-linked news agency reported.
“Islamic State commandos attack a restaurant frequented by foreigners in the city of Dhaka,” the Aamaq news agency said.It claimed that “more than 20 people of different nationalities (were) killed”.
Gunmen stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery restaurant, apparently taking diners hostage and sparking a firefight in which at least two policemen were killed, police and witnesses in Dhaka said earlier.
Bangladeshi police, however, reported only that two police had been shot dead and said they were trying to free the hostages peacefully.Meanwhile, the Foreign ****** said all Pakistani diplomats and their families in Dhaka are safe. “We are in contact with Pakistani diplomatic staff and they are all safe,” FO Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria, quoted by television channels on Friday, said.“We have confirmed that there is ** Pakistani national among the hostages,” Zakaria added.
