TNO, “Whites Targeted in Bangladesh Attack”, 3 July 2016:
White Europeans were once again singled out for murder by radical Muslim terrorists during the attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery in Bangladesh, according to survivors of the incident.
The attack, which took place in Dhaka’s Gulshan diplomatic zone, saw nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis, and one Indian killed.

According to the Italian Ansa news service, the Italian victims were named as Adele Puglisi, Marco Tondat, Claudia Maria D’Antona, Nadia Benedetti, Vincenzo D’Allestro, Maria Rivoli, Cristian Rossi, Claudio Cappelli, and Simona Monti.
The Italians were all textile entrepreneurs, visiting Bangladesh to establish trade links and import-export possibilities with local businesses.

According to the Associated Press, the attack “marks an escalation in militant violence” in the Muslim-majority nation, with the extremists demanding the secular government revert to Islamic rule.
“Most previous attacks,” the AP said, “have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners, and religious minorities. But Friday night’s attack was different, more coordinated, with the attackers brandishing assault rifles as they shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) and stormed the bakery.”
ISIS claimed responsibility, saying it targeted the citizens of “Crusader countries” in the attack.
