Bangladesh police deny any rescued hostages in their custody
NEW DELHI (AP) — Police in Bangladesh denied Saturday that they're still holding anyone rescued during this month's bloody attack on a restaurant by radical Islamists, saying they've questioned and released two former hostages reportedly missing since the attack.
Rahman was commenting on a statement by New York-based Human Rights Watch urging Bangladesh's government to guarantee the rights of Karim and Khan, who were held hostage by the attackers and later questioned by authorities.
Five armed gunmen attacked the Holey Artisan Bakery restaurant on the night of July 1, killing 20 people and holding others inside hostage.
