[Anubis]

Is there any sort of negotiations going on or its an all out terror strike meant for lives loss and making some statement?

No news is being released...reporters have been removed...most them are at the outer periphery of the cordoned area or in the hospitals...they can't report anything new.

I don't want to respond to this sort of nonsense on a thread like this that should be about this tragedy in BD but if you're going to post nonsense then expect to be rebutted.

but they never fight one week to empty a hotel or 7 days in airbase like indians

1)Pathankot AFB has a 40km perimiter wall with hundreds of buildings that were searched, operations were not offically declared over as per NSG SOPs until the entire base had been swept but the actual fighting only lasted about 12 hours.
2) 26/11 it took 60 hours for ops to be delcared over as per the same SOPs but the last terrorist was killed 20+ hours before that, the NSG cleared 1000s of hotel rooms with 200 operators with no collateral casualties and not a single innocent life was lost once they took over command.

If you want more info then please do learn some truths before spouting of nonsense like this:

this you called NSG ? don't know who to catch MP5

[~Phoenix~]

just heard something like the police were chasing these gunmen as part of some separate operation. These guys got cornered and then stormed in the restaurant. It makes sense as there were a lot of police just happened to be around.

Dang

No news is being released...reporters have been removed...most them are at the outer periphery of the cordoned area or in the hospitals...they can't report anything new.

Hope we will get some good news when they start coming out. That's what I can pray. Keep us updated

RIP.

Makes me think probably Americans in there.

Police concentrating on the cafe...it has started raining...tv channels are asking its reporters NOT TO REPORT on any upcoming operation.

 

[kobiraaz]

Operation Clean Heart.

Yes I remember How Bangladesh got rid of Criminals through that.

Another one will be not that difficult. However, It is a failure of immense proportion that 10 Ak 47 were teansported in the heart of Dhaka City

Islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack on a restaurant in the diplomatic quarter of the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka on Friday. At least two policemen have reportedly died, and dozens of people are being held hostage.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, Reuters said, citing the terrorist group’s propaganda website Amaq. The number of casualties, Amaq claims, stands at more than 20. However, the information hasn’t yet been officially confirmed.

Four police officers have died, while the gunmen are holding approximately 40 hostages, including at least one Westerner, NBC News reported, citing Assistant Superintendent Fazle-e-Elahi. According to local media, two officers have been killed.

There are “reports of shooting and hostage situation,” the US embassy in Bangladesh has tweeted.

Bangladeshi police exchanged fire with armed men at a Dhaka restaurant popular with foreigners, Reuters reported.

Bangladesh’s authorities are trying to persuade the attackers to release the hostages, the Times of India reports.

All TV networks across Bangladesh have stopped live coverage at the request of police, local media websites report.

Media outlets have been requested not to publish the names or nationalities of probable hostages for their safety.

Media should refrain from identifying nationalities/identities of probable hostages in context of #Dhaka for their safety. Please RT & tag

“We heard the shooting noise and blasting bombs… It is quiet now,” a witness who lives a kilometer from the restaurant told RT.

“I’m particularly worried about what is going to happen in the next hours…” the man said, adding that he doesn’t know what actions local authorities are taking and he is concerned that if police try to catch the attackers, it may lead to more bloodshed.

The attack was carried out by a group of at least nine people, according to local media. They entered the restaurant at around 9:20pm local time and reportedly opened fire and set off explosions.

One of the attackers was armed with a sword, the others carried guns, an employee of a nearby café told RT. He estimated the number of hostages as at least 30.

A kitchen worker who managed to escape the building said the attackers chanted “Allahu Akbar.”

“They blasted several crude bombs, causing wide-scale panic among everyone. I managed to flee during this confusion,” he said, according to The Daily Star, a Bangladeshi English-language newspaper. The paper puts the number of injuries at 30.

Police have cordoned off the site and are now planning a rescue operation, a police chief told Reuters.

The targeted area of Gulshan is a neighborhood in the capital city of Dhaka that hosts many nongovernmental organizations and embassies, including that of the US.

“This is a very serious diplomatic area, there are many embassies, including the delegation of the European Union, the French embassy, the Dutch embassy and the Russian embassy,” Syed Ishtiak Reza, the director of Ekattor TV, a leading satellite television channel in Bangladesh, said in an interview with RT.

The same-style attack took place in November 2015 when Al-Qaeda militants attacked the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali, leaving 22 civilians dead. Five terrorists were killed as a result of a 10-hour siege.
