Bangladesh security forces killed three Islamists on Saturday that attacked an upscale cafe in Dhaka last month that killed 22 people, mostly foreigners.  Among those killed by the security forces is the 30 year old Bangladesh-born Canadian citizen Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury, who masterminded the cafe attack where the militants singled out non-Muslims and foreigners for being killed, including Italians, Japanese, an American, and an Indian.

The Islamic State had claimed responsibility for the initial attack on the Cafe.

The three were cornered in a hideout in the outskirts of the capital and killed in a gun battle after refusing to surrender.

See a National Post article about the issue, and see a Daily Mail article about the initial cafe attack.
