Italy’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mario Giro took the coffins on a special flight as he left Dhaka on Tuesday afternoon.
Giro was in a meeting with Bangladesh’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam, before they together visited Gulshan’s Holey Artisan Bakery and O’ Kitchen where 20, mostly foreigners, were slaughtered by Islamist gunmen during a nightlong siege on Friday.
The gunmen were then shot dead by commandos who charged in almost 12 hours after the militants stormed into the upscale cafe with blasts and shootings while shouting Allahu Akbar.
