Dhaka, Jul 1 (EFE/EPA).- After months of isolated attacks on activists, religious minorities and foreign intellectuals, Bangladesh witnessed its worst nightmare on 1 July 2016 when six terrorists stormed a restaurant in an upscale Dhaka neighborhood and killed 20 civilians, mostly foreigners, and two policemen.The attack at Holey Artisan café was claimed by the Islamic State (IS) terror group, whose flags were borne by the terrorists, although the government has held the local militant group Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) responsible for it from the outset.Police later determined that 21 people were involved in the attack, 13 of whom were killed during the attack and in subsequent operations. Canadian-Bangladeshi Tamim Chaudhry, who died in a subsequent police operation, was considered the mastermind of the attack.
