We’ll find out how many bodies are in there once the terrorists are killed or kill themselves as I assume events are playing out right now.

Some media tweets in recent minutes-”At least 5 people rescued during storm on Dhaka restaurant....Gunfire explosions heard as Bangladesh security forces storm Dhaka restaurant where gunmen are holding hostages....”

Why should East Pokistan have an issue with Islam?

I don’t imagine the Banglededhi special forces give a damn about the gunman’s constitution rights, nor will they go to great lengths to save the hostages.

The terrorists killed a bunch of Italians; blood is all over the floor and it seems one or more kids have been killed.

Looks like some head-shots.

Attack was in an "embassy area," from what I read.

IS claims they killed more than 20 people in there...they’ve sent out pictures and the latest updates to the BBC story speak of ‘more than 20 hostages’ and also say that the gunfire has ended.

I wish the government of Shri Lanka the very best. Next time they need to profile.

Fox news had a crawler running today that read: “Derailed youths take hostages in Bangladesh.”

It is Bangladesh not Sri Lanka. There are 150 million Muslims in Bangladesh, so it’s another kind of problem to weed out the jihadists there.

I remember an interview with Moshe Dayan after the raid on Entebbe. He was drawing a comparison between US and Israeli rescue missions.
The difference was in the mind set.
The US always acted in a manner that would attempt to save ALL the hostages, even if it meant some of the bad guys got away.
The Israelis always acted as if all the hostages were already dead...any that were saved were a bonus....but the bad guys paid.

The old Israeli mind set is what must be used by non-muslims today. These animals never have any desire to let hostages go. Their whole purpose is to kill everyone and gain martyrdom in the process. This is why the only approach to these hostage situations is to go in balls to the wall and take the bastards out as quickly as possible. DO NOT let them make calls to their controllers where their dying manifestos can be recorded and used to incite future scumbags. Go in hard and fast and realize that any hostages saved are a bonus.
