The Bangladesh cafe hostage siege finally ended on Saturday after a bloody fight between commandos and militants.
"We have been able to save 13 people, six gunmen have been killed" said Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and added "All security agencies did a great job".
She condemned the attacks saying "What kind of humans are these, who are killing other humans during (the holy month of) Ramzan?"
Eight to nine gunmen attacked the upscale cafe Holey Artisan, in the diplomatic area of Dhaka late on Friday and had been holding about 20 hostages, including foreigners.
The security forces launched an offensive to end the hostage crisis at the restaurant today morning, reports the Daily Star.
The assailants, believed to be carrying assault rifles and grenades, exchanged sporadic gun fire with police outside for several hours after the attack, which began around 9 p.m. on Friday.
