A crackdown on this behaviour is seriously needed by the Bangladesh Government. It's not enough to pin the blame on opposition parties, serious effort needs to be done to route out external influence causing internal trouble. Bangladesh has been quite good in terms of terrorist control for an Islamic majority country, hopefully we can return that reputation.

Gunshots exchange on as 20 foreigners kept hostage

At least 20 foreigners have been kept hostage at a restaurant in capital’s Gulshan by a group of gunmen for over two hours.

Law enforcers and terrorists are continuing exchanging gunshots as the law enforcers are trying to end the hostage situation.

At least two members of police sustained bullet wounds but it couldn’t be known immediately whether anyone was killed in the hostage situation.

Witnesses said a group of gun-wielding young men entered the restaurant—Holey Artisan Bakery—at Road 79 around 8:30pm by opening gunshots, charging bombs and shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.

The gunmen, who were carrying swords in their hands as well, took dozens of people including 20 foreign nationals hostage.

One Suman, who claimed himself as one of the managers at the hotel, said a group of eight young men aged between 20 and 28 attacked the restaurant.

“They blasted a numbers of bombs and swooped on the guests in the restaurant shouting Allahu Akbar,” said Suman said.

No country should have to bend over to 'Islamists' as you call them, just to avoid a terror attack. I'd expect the same from Pakistan or any country that has to deal with such elements. Sheik Hasina, despite her multiple flaws, cannot be blamed for the global rise of radicalism amongst Muslims.

The media black out is the standard practice that prevents the hostage takers or handler from following or passing info , wished our media followed the same during 26/11
