BANGLADESH UPDATE – AT 11:14 A.M. ET:  Updating our report from last night.  It's gotten much worse.  From Fox: 

Bangladesh’s Prime Minister vowed Saturday to fight terrorism “at all costs” after 20 people were killed after Islamic gunmen took dozens of hostages during a 10-hour siege at a restaurant.

The victims included two students from Emory University in Georgia and nine Italians.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina condemned the attack while pledging to stand up and fight the terror threats that has mushroomed in the country, Reuters reported.

“We are committed and determined to uphold or freedom,” Hasina said, adding that Bangladesh will fight the terror threat “at all costs.”

Hasina declared two days of mourning following the attack on the Dhaka café Holey Artisan Bakery.

At least seven Islamic terrorists attacked the upscale restaurant in the diplomatic quarter of Bangladesh's capital Friday night.

Early Saturday, a Bangladeshi commando raid supported by armored vehicles resulted in the deaths of at least six attackers and the capture of a seventh. Thirteen hostages were rescued. Two police officers were killed in an earlier gun battle with the militants.

COMMENT:  It was the second major terrorist attack this week, the first being the Istanbul airport bombing.  We have every reason to believe there'll be more.

Meanwhile, the White House shows no sense of urgency.  After all, it's a gun-control issue, isn't it?
