DHAKA, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Gunmen killed 20 foreigners by slitting throats soon after they stormed a Spanish restaurant in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, a spokesman of the Bangladesh Army said on Saturday.
Brigadier General Naim Ashfaq Chowdhury did not disclose nationality of the victims, but sources said all of the victims were foreigners.
They said seven Italians and seven Japanese were thought to be among 20 victims in the Holey Artisan Bakery restaurant which the gunmen attacked on Friday night.
He told a press briefing that most of the victims were killed by slitting throats.
Chowdhury said six attackers were killed during an armed raid on Saturday morning that ended the 13-hour siege in Dhaka's diplomatic enclave Gulshan.
"We've managed to capture one attacker alive," he said.
Some 13 hostages, including one Japanese and two Sri Lankans, were rescued.
