The attackers took hostages and exchanged gunfire with police until soldiers moved in and killed the militants. Twenty people inside the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe were killed, along with two police officers and six terrorists.
Bangladeshi authorities said the 20 slain hostages included 11 males and nine females. The nationalities included nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Indian, two Bangladeshis and one U.S. citizen of Bangladeshi origin.
Here’s what we know about the victims.

Tarishi Jain

Tarishi Jain, of India, was a U.S. college student who was serving an internship in Bangladesh.

Tarishi Jain, of India, was a U.S. college student who was serving an internship in Bangladesh.

Indian national Tarishi Jain, 19, was a sophomore at University of California at Berkeley — and had started an internship at a bank in Dhaka just weeks ago.
She’d lived in Dhaka before, attending the American International School in Bangladesh’s capital while her father worked in the city as a textile merchant, UC Berkeley said Saturday.
“She was a smart and ambitious young woman with a big heart,” said Sanchita Saxena, director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Bangladesh Studies. “Our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the entire Berkeley community.”
Jain intended to major in economics, and had begun an internship at Dhaka’s Eastern Bank Limited, working on e-commerce growth, in early June, UC Berkeley said.
India’s minister of external affairs, Sushma Swaraj, said on Twitter that she’d spoken to Jain’s father and offered her condolences, adding that “the country is with them in this hour of grief.”

Abinta Kabir, one of two Emory University students killed in the attack, was a “treasure to this world,” her childhood friend Emma Louisa Jacoby told CNN.
Kabir, of Miami, Florida, was a sophomore at the Atlanta-based university’s campus in Oxford, Georgia. She had been visiting family and friends in Dhaka, the university said.
Like Jain, Kabir had attended the American International School in Dhaka before college, Jacoby said.
“Her work ethic was always inspiring to me. She was incredibly goal-oriented and committed to her work and extra curricular activities, and an amazing athlete on top of that,” Jacoby told CNN. “Everything she achieved, I can say she earned.
“At the same time she managed to be this silly, humor-filled, light-hearted person. She lived very close to me, so we’d often have late-night talks in the car when giving each other rides home. Abinta was a generous, loyal friend and a treasure to this world.”
Florida Gov. Rick Scott directed U.S. and Florida state flags across the state to be flown at half-staff Sunday to mourn Kabir.

Faraaz Hossain

Faraaz Hossain was a student at Emory's Goizueta Business School.

Faraaz Hossain, who was from Dhaka, was a 2016 graduate of Oxford College near Atlanta and a student at Emory’s Goizueta Business School.
A friend from high school said he was voted prom king and class president. His friend told CNN he was very humble and one of the most responsible people she’d ever met.
“The Emory community mourns this tragic and senseless loss of two members of our university family,” the university said in a prepared statement Saturday. “Our thoughts and prayers go out on behalf of Faraaz and Abinta and their families and friends for strength and peace at this unspeakably sad time.”
