Faraaz Chose Not to Leave His Friends Alone

The three, who studied together in a prestigious Dhaka school, were killed by the terrorists but not before they together wrote a story of friendship which will be for long.

According to a report in Indian Express , terrorists have Faraaz Hossain an option to leave but the 20-year-old had decided that he is not going to move out of the restaurant without his two other friends.

“Since Tarishi and Abinta were wearing western clothes, the terrorists asked Faraaz where they were from. He reportedly told them that they were from India and the US,” the report quoted sources, as saying.

‘WE WON’T HARM BENGALIS’

Sumir Barai, who is a cook Holey Artisan bakery, also took shelter inside a washroom when the terrorists barged in firing in the air.

“Bengali people, come out. You don’t need to be so tense. We will not kill Bengalis. We will only kill foreigners,” one of the terrorists shouted. Barai told New York Times that the attackers were eager to see their action being reported on the social media.

“After killing the patrons, they asked the staff to turn on the restaurant’s wireless network. Then they used customers’ telephones to post images of the bodies on the internet,” the NYT said.
