Gulshan Area Of Dhaka

None of the family members of the 14 terrorists killed in the Gulshan cafe attack and during a raid in Dhaka's Kalyanpur area have come forward to claim the bodies, media reports said on Saturday.

Despite Bangladesh government's denials that the perpetrators of Friday's attack at the posh eatery in Gulshan area were homegrown terrorists with no connections to the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, questions are now emerging about a possible link.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today vowed to trace the "roots" of the culprits who supplied weapons and explosives to the terrorists who killed 20 people, mostly foreigners, in a barbaric attack on a cafe.

More than 70 policemen crowded the entrance of a narrow lane leading to the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka's leafy Gulshan area - the place where gunmen killed over 20 people including 19-year-old Tarishi Jain in a siege that started on Friday night.

Heavily armed terrorists struck at the heart of Bangladesh's diplomatic zone on Friday night, taking dozens of hostages at a restaurant popular with foreigners. Two police officers were killed and at least 26 people wounded in a gunbattle as security forces cordoned off the area and sought to end the standoff.
