'Live' thread: https://www.reddit.com/live/x6nlz174eayk http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36687616 Gunmen have stormed a popular cafe in the diplomatic area of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, taking a number of hostages, officials say. Several foreigners are among those being held by eight or nine armed men in the city's Gulshan district, they add. Two police officers have been killed about 30 others injured in a gun battle, a spokesman said. So-called Islamic State has said it carried out the attack. A statement on the group's self-styled news agency Amaq said militants had attacked a restaurant "frequented by foreigners". It said that more than 20 people "of different nationalities" had been killed but this has not been confirmed. Security forces say they are trying to negotiate the hostages' release. Initial reports said that as many as 20 foreigners were among those taken captive. "We want to resolve this peacefully. We are trying to talk to the attackers," said Benazir Ahmed, chief of the Rapid Action Battalion, Bangladesh's elite police force. "Our first priority is to save the lives of the people trapped inside." Police said the gunmen burst into the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe at about 21:20 (13:20 GMT) and opened fire. The cafe is described as being popular with expatriates, diplomats and middle-class families. Media reports quoted witnesses as saying that "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is greatest", was heard as the attack took place. An eyewitness said she heard a loud noise, followed by continuous gunfire. "The glass of my drawing room shattered," Rashila Rahim said. "My auntie, her daughter and two friends went there for Iftar (breaking of the Ramadan fasting) and they have not come back. We cannot even check where they are." Another local resident, Tarique Mir, said he could hear sporadic gunfire nearly three hours after the attack began. "It is chaos out there. The streets are blocked. There are dozens of police commandos," he said. BBC South Asia editor Jill McGivering says that although high-profile gun attacks are rare in Bangladesh, the latest incident follows a series of murders widely blamed on Islamist extremists. |

Well let's have something interesting to talk about. I'm always checking the board out. I just don't want to participate in Steve's racism, BigFan's bans, shitting on BigFan, or any of the other crap that's been going on. |

There's Cubs-Bulls-NBA-Hawks-NHL-Rocky talk going on as well. Any interest in any of those things? |

'We came here to kill the non-Muslims,' gunmen told Bangladesh hostages Quote: They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their rank. - Surah (4:89) A religion of peace. |

the brevity of his initial check in gave it a "Button 37" quality [or whatever number the "We're Happy For Ya" button was] at least when BigFan name-checks Jordan/et al, he gives us a little more detail on the encounter. not even mini-yelp review from CHF of the street cart selling billy-goat skewers he dined at a mile from this terra-event. |
