TERRORISM// Islamist terrorists launched a sudden attack on a posh restaurant in Dhaka's upmarket Gulshan diplomatic zone on July 1 killing 22 people, including 19-yearold Indian girl Tarishi Jain among 20 foreigners and two police officers while six suspected terrorists were gunned down in the commando operation next morning. The attackers took hostages and exchanged gunfire with police until soldiers moved in and killed the militants. The slain victims included nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Indian, three Bangladeshis and one U.S. citizen of Bangladeshi origin. The ISIS had earlier claimed responsibility for the cafe attack but the government said homegrown Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) carried out both the assaults.
