Dhaka, July 2 (IBNS): Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged people of the Asian nation to keep faith on her government after the country witnessed a bloody attack carried out by militants at a cafe in capital Dhaka's Gulshan area which left several people, including foreigners, on Saturday.

Addressing the nation, Hasina said the sovereignty of Bangladesh won with the blood of martyrs.

"Have faith in us," bdnews24.com quoted Hasina as saying in her address.

The Bangladeshi Army on Saturday said that 20 foreigners were killed by heavily armed terrorists suspected to belong to terror outfit ISIS after being taken hostage at a restaurant in the capital city Dhaka on Friday evening.
The people were kept hostage for nearly 10 hours in Dhaka's upscale restaurant Gulshan. The stand-off between Army and terrorists came to a end on Saturday morning.

An Indian girl, who was taken hostage in the restaurant, also died in the terror attack in Dhaka, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj confirmed.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said that a terrorist was caught alive.

As the operation came to an end, 13 captives, including three foreigners, were rescued.
