Pakistan's ISI connected to Bangladesh attack?

Dhaka, July 3 (IBNS): Days after a deadly militant attack at a cafe in Bangladesh capital Dhaka left 20 hostages killed, a top official of the country claimed that Pakistan's powerful ISI or military spy agency might be involved in the crime.

Hossain Toufique Imam is the political advisor to Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh told NDTV that the manner in which the hostages, which included 19-year-old Indian student Tarishi Jain, were killed with machetes suggests the role of a local terrorist group, the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen.

"Pakstan's ISI and Jamaat connection is well known...they want to derail the current government," HT Imam told NDTV, adding "all victims were hacked to death like Jamaat and local terror groups do".

The Bangladeshi Army on Saturday said that 20 people were killed by heavily armed terrorists after being taken hostage at a restaurant in the capital city Dhaka on Friday evening.

The people were kept hostage for nearly 10 hours in Dhaka's upscale restaurant Gulshan. The stand-off between Army and terrorists came to a end on Saturday morning.

The operation left six terrorists killed as well.

An Indian girl, who was taken hostage in the restaurant, also died in the terror attack in Dhaka, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj confirmed.
