Apparently there is currently a gun battle in the Diplomatic area of Bangladesh, complete with hostages and hand grenades.

"(CNN)Police exchanged gunfire with armed attackers Friday at a restaurant in a diplomatic zone of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Assailants were throwing grenades at police, a source at the scene said.
"An unknown number of people are trapped," Gulshan police station duty officer Sayedur Rahman said.
A police bomb disposal unit was on standby to go in."

Militant Hari Krishnas. They put down their airport flowers and picked up ak's and hand grenades.

Quote:

Media reports quoted witnesses as saying that "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is greatest", was heard as the attack took place.

I guess their motives may never be known.

A few bad apples. Real muslims would never do such a thing. It's the religion of peace. Christians have murdered people too. If it weren't for colonialism. Ban all guns. If we allowed more of them to live amongst us they would change. ~Soul mates~ It's a class problem not a religious problem. etc..

Latest reports indicate 2 police officers shot dead and 40 people injured in the shootout.

The gunmen are holding hostages at a cafe popular among expats. ISIS has claimed responsibility.

Only 4 days left of Ramadan, Islam will be totally peaceful soon guys. Nothing to see here.

Damn.

I never get to the shooting threads in time to make all of the "religion of peace" or the "those pesky Buddhists" jokes.

I didn't read this one yet so I call it:

Its not the Muslims its the ar-15s.

Aloha!

Dramatisation of the shootout between these two highly trained forces.

Are terrorist attacks in Bangladesh common?

In all seriousness, that would be awesome to see.
