Page 4A NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Dhaka attackers defy usual profi le NEW DELHI (AP) — The young men had been missing for months. Their families sensed something was wrong. Some had come from privileged backgrounds, had grown up loved and were educated in top schools. They had bright futures. It wasn’t until the horror of the weekend hostage cri- sis in Bangladesh’s capital unfolded that they learned their sons had become rad- icalized as religious extrem- ists and launched one of the country’s deadliest attacks in recent years. The young men, armed with knives, bombs and au- tomatic fi rearms, engaged in a gun battle with police, killing two and wounding more, then seized a popular restaurant in a Dhaka neigh- borhood on Friday night and held some 35 people hostage. Over the next few hours, they would kill 20 of their captives — including nine Italians, seven Japa- nese, an Indian teenager and three students at American universities. A witness said some victims were tortured when they could not recite verses from the Quran. “This is very painful. He killed innocent people,” said the aunt of one of the attackers, Rohan Imtiaz, whose father is a leader in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s governing Awami League party. “We sensed that Rohan was changing and his be- havior increasingly became different,” she told the As- sociated Press in disbelief. When Imtiaz went miss- ing on Dec. 31, as his moth- er and father were in India for medical treatment, the family asked the police to help fi nd him. “My brother went to ev- erybody: police, ministers and higher authorities after he went missing,” said Ro- han’s aunt, who refused to be identifi ed by name. “He became just crazy after his son went missing. But no- body could help us.” As details emerged of the men who laid siege to the Holey Artisan Bakery, it be- came clear that the attackers did not fi t the typical profi le for religious radicals coming from economically deprived backgrounds and latching onto extremist groups that promised a new future. Tuesday, July 5, 2016 Security tightened as death toll hits 157 By SINAN SALAHEDDIN Associated Press BAGHDAD — As the death toll from the weekend truck bombing in Baghdad climbed to 157, Iraq’s embat- tled prime minister ordered new security measures, in- cluding abandoning the use of bomb-detection wands that U.S. experts pronounced worthless years ago. But security forces were still using the devices Mon- day evening, as a string of smaller bombings in the capital killed 16 people and wounded dozens more. Sunday’s suicide attack by the Islamic State group was the single deadliest bombing to hit Baghdad in more than a decade of war and insurgen- cy. Also Monday, fi ve con- victed terrorists were exe- cuted in Baghdad, the Min- istry of Justice said in an announcement that appeared aimed at restoring faith in Iraq’s security forces in the wake of the devastating at- tack. Firefi ghters and medical teams were still uncovering bodies from the city’s Kara- da neighborhood Monday morning. Offi cials said a doz- en people were missing and at least 60 of the dead were women and children. At least 190 people were wounded. The blast struck after midnight when the neigh- borhood was bustling with people breaking their day- light fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The attack demonstrated the Is- lamic State’s ability to strike the capital despite a string of defeats on the battlefi eld, including the loss of Fallujah just over a week ago. With public anger mount- ing, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered new secu- rity measures Sunday eve- ning, including increased AP Photo/Hadi Mizban Iraqi women wait for their family members who are missing after a car bomb went off in a commercial area in Karada neighborhood, Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday.

He also ordered security forces to stop using a hand- held electronic device that was widely sold as a bomb detector but has been repeat- edly branded bogus by tech- nical experts. And he ordered the reopening of an investi- gation into the purchase of the ADE 651s, which cost the Iraqi government tens of thousands of dollars each. In 2010, British authori- ties arrested the director of the British manufacturer, ATSC Ltd., on fraud charges, prompting Iraqis to open their own investigation. Iraqi authorities made some ar- rests, but the device remained in use. On Monday evening, As- sociated Press reporters saw a number of the devices still being used at checkpoints around the capital as another round of blasts erupted. Many Iraqis blame their political leadership for the way large amounts of explo- sives have made it past multi- ple checkpoints into crowded neighborhoods with disas- trous results. Small-scale bombings oc- cur on a near-daily basis in Baghdad, and in May a string of large-scale bombings, many of them claimed by IS, killed more than 200 people in a single week. In February, Amnesty In- ternational reported that the number of Iraqis sentenced to death in 2016 was close to 100, calling the fi gure a “grim indicator of the current state of justice in the coun- try.” Later Monday, about 10 rockets struck a refugee camp for Iranian exiles next to Baghdad’s international airport, according to a Bagh- dad police offi cial. The attack killed three Iraqi policemen and wounded 13 others, ac- cording to a hospital offi cial. The offi cials spoke on condition of anonymity be- cause they were not autho- rized to release information to the media. ——— Associated Press writer Murtada Faraj contributed to this report. 3-2-1: A look at NASA’s Jupiter mission by the numbers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Since launching in 2011, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been cruising toward the biggest planet in the solar system. On Monday, Juno is scheduled to per- form a nail-biting move designed to enter orbit around Jupiter to explore its cloud-covered atmosphere and in- terior makeup. Here are a few key numbers about the $1.1 billion mission: •1.8 billion miles: That’s the total distance traveled from launch to ar- rival. Juno’s journey wasn’t a straight shot. Because the rocket that carried Juno wasn’t powerful enough to boost it directly to Jupiter, it took a longer route. It looped around the in- ner solar system and then swung by Earth, using our planet as a gravity slingshot to hurtle toward the outer solar system. • 3,100 miles: That’s how close Juno will fl y to Jupiter’s cloud tops. It’ll pass over the poles 37 times during the mission on a path that avoids the most intense radiation. • 48 minutes, 19 seconds: That’s the time it takes for radio signals from Jupiter to reach Earth. During the encounter, Juno will fi re its main engine for about a half hour to slow down. By the time ground controllers receive word that it started, the en- gine burn would have been complet- ed, and if all goes as planned, Juno would be in orbit. • 20 months: That’s how long the mission will last. Because Juno is in a harsh radiation environment, its deli- cate electronics are housed in a spe- cial titanium vault. Eventually, Juno will succumb to the intense radiation and will be commanded to plunge into Jupiter’s atmosphere to avoid any collision with the planet’s moons. • Nine: Juno carries a suite of nine instruments to explore Jupiter from its interior to its atmosphere. It will map Jupiter’s gravity and magnetic fi elds and track how much water is in the atmosphere. Its color camera dubbed JunoCam will snap close-ups of Jupiter’s swirling clouds, polar re- gions and shimmering southern and northern lights. • Three: Three massive solar wings extend from Juno, making it the most distant solar-powered space- craft. The panels can generate 500 watts of electricity, enough to power the instruments. ——— Online: tinyurl.com/Jupitermission RECORDS Tuesday, July 5, 2016 East Oregonian DEATH NOTICES UPCOMING SERVICES Gene Harold Myers Grace L.
