The US has offered immediate assistance of its law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to probe Bangladesh’s worst terror attack in which 22 people were brutally slaughtered by suspected ISIS militants.
The assistance was offered as Secretary of State John Kerry called Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday. “The Secretary encouraged the Government of Bangladesh to conduct its investigation in accordance with the highest international standards and offered immediate assistance from US law enforcement, including the FBI,” State Department spokesperson John Kirby said.
The offer came in the wake of the “outrageous attack” on the Holey Artisan restaurant in Dhaka’s high-security diplomatic zone, he said.
