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.

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

aerial scanning and intelli-
gence-gathering in the cap-
ital and the installation of
X-ray systems at the entranc-
es of provinces.
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.

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.
