Bangladesh hunts for six accomplices of Dhaka cafe attackers

DHAKA (REUTERS) - Bangladeshi police hunted on Tuesday (July 5) for six members of a domestic Islamist group they suspect helped gunmen attack a Dhaka cafe, as officials began questioning families of the militants for clues as to what turned them into killers.
Gunmen stormed the restaurant in Dhaka's diplomatic zone late last Friday and killed 20 people, most of them foreigners from Italy, Japan, India and the United States, in an assault claimed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
It was one of the deadliest militant attacks in Bangladesh, where the ISIS and Al-Qaeda have claimed a series of killings of liberals and members of religious minorities in the past year. But the government has dismissed those claims, as it did the ISIS claim of responsibility for Friday's attack.
Police believe that Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an outlawed domestic group that has pledged allegiance to the ISIS, played a significant role in organising the band of privileged, educated young men who carried out the attack.
"Six members of JMB have been shown as accused in the case. We are trying to arrest them because they could be the mastermind," Saiful Islam, a senior police officer involved in the investigation, told Reuters.

The JMB has been accused of involvement in many of the killings over the past year and the senior officer said police were interrogating more than 130 of its members already in custody in the hope of gleaning clues.
"We don't know who is the mastermind behind the attack. We just know that these boys were guided to launch an attack on the restaurant," he said. "There is no evidence of foreign links."
Police killed six of the attackers when they regained control of the restaurant, 12-hours after the attack began. Two other suspects are in hospital.
MAJOR ESCALATION
Police on Tuesday also registered a case against five of the six dead attackers, officer Islam said, which they need to do to begin formal investigations which includes questioning of their families.
The five named in the case filing were Nibras Islam, Rohan Imtiaz, Meer Saameh Mubasheer, Khairul Islam and Shafiqul Islam.
It was not immediately clear why the sixth man had not been named in the police report.
The attack marked a major escalation in the scale and brutality of violence aimed at forcing strict Islamic rule in Bangladesh, whose 160 million people are mostly Muslim.
It has shocked the country, as have details emerging about the well-to-do lives of some of the gunmen, five of whom appeared in photographs posted on an ISIS website, clutching guns and grinning in front of a black flag.
At least three of the gunmen were from wealthy, liberal families who had attended elite Dhaka schools, in contrast to the traditional Bangladeshi militant's path from poverty and a madrassa education to violence.
Three of the attackers had been missing since the beginning of the year, police have said, and little is known about where they went.
Two had attended a private university in Malaysia and one of them, Nibras Islam, was not particularly religious, according to a student who played football with him at a private college in Dhaka between 2009 and 2011.
"We are in touch with investigators in Malaysia and they are sharing all the information but as of now we have not found any links with international militant groups," Officer Islam said.
One of the dead gunmen was from a poor family and had studied at a madrassa and another hailed from a lower-middle class background, said another senior police official who declined to be identified.
Police said on Saturday that five of the attackers were known to authorities and they had previously tried to arrest them. But police have since said little about when and how the men came to be radicalised.

Loans to be canceled for 1,000 New York farmers
By Tony J. Bird on	 November 24, 2021 Signature Loans
Farmers in the Hudson Valley are getting a lifeline under President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act, which was just passed by the US House of Representatives.
The provision, known as the Relief For America's Small Farmers Act, would wipe out some long-standing debt.
Almost all farmers who have taken out a loan from the federal Farm Service Agency (FSA) will benefit from debt relief of up to $ 150,000 under the Build Back Better plan.
Bill has yet to pass the US Senate and receive the President's signature
Congressman Maloney expects legislation to be enacted before the December recess
Christopher Pawelski said Spectrum 1 News Tuesday that he and other farmers in the Black Dirt area of Orange County are struggling to repay their government loans.
"I can't sleep at night," he said. "I'm serious about it. It is a huge debt that we have.
Pawelski Farms, founded in 1908 by Pawelski's great-grandfather, has been hit in recent years by hurricanes and more recently by pandemic-related losses.
"You can't get loans anywhere else," Pavelski said. "You're kind of stuck where you are unless you have some kind of boom years streak."
Change is coming, however. Local farmers helped make it.
Pawelski welcomed several colleagues and U.S. Representative Sean Patrick Maloney to his farm on Tuesday to announce that a farmer debt relief program has been incorporated into the Build Back Better plan.
Almost all farmers receiving a loan through the federal Farm Service Agency (FSA) will receive debt relief of up to $ 150,000, Maloney said, and farmers who are most in pain will be eligible for full relief. much larger debts.
Maloney and Pawelski said the "blow in the arm" would be good for the supply chain and good for the future of small farmers.
Maloney estimates that 1,000 farmers will receive this relief.
"It's hard for young farmers to get started," Maloney said of family farms. "It's part of the idea – to make it work again for a lot of our family farmers. "
"The good thing is that it's targeted… for small operations," Pawelski said of the loan cancellation program. "It's not something you normally see, so it's incredibly rewarding."
The bill has yet to pass the US Senate and receive the President's signature. Maloney virtually guaranteed that the loan cancellation program would be included in the final signed version.
He expects the legislation to be enacted before the December recess.
"This provision will survive in the legislation coming out of the Senate," Maloney said. "If not, you'll hear me scream."

WILLIAMS, Ariz. — On Aug. 28, Williams residents voted to pass the home rule option allowing the city to set its own spending limitations rather than allowing the state to govern its spending.
The home rule option, also known as alternative expenditure limitation, allows the city to determine how much money it can spend in the next four years based on how much revenue would be available.
Williams city officials said having this option has been critical in maintaining current services and programs within the city.
Now that voters approved the home rule option, the city estimates it will be allowed to spend $25,995.597 in 2019-2020, based on the estimated revenue that will be available. If voters had not approved the home rule option, the city would have had to follow state-imposed expenditure limits, which would have restricted spending to about $13,644,119 in 2019-2020.
The home rule option is not a new tax and does not change existing tax rates.
Williams voters have approved the home rule option every four years since 1990. This fall the item was up for renewal for the next four years, starting with fiscal year 2019-2020.
The current city operating budget is around $26 million; for 2020-2021 the estimate is $26,419,063; for 2021-2022 it is $27,230,310; and for 2022-2023 it is $28,040,067.
Under the state-imposed limitation, the city estimates it will be allowed to expend approximately $13,644,119 in 2019-2020, $13,411,706 in 2020-2021, $13,597,877 in 2021-2022, and $13,733,129 in 2022-2023.
The limitations are based on a formula that starts with the city's expenditures in 1979-1980 and takes into account population changes, inflation and estimated exclusions.
The Williams City Council voted to approve the proposed alternative expenditure limitation at a special meeting April 26. The vote for approval was six for and zero against.
The city uses the additional expenditure authority for all local budgetary purposes including maintenance of current services and capital improvements. Current services include general government, culture and recreation, public safety, health and welfare, debt service, economic development, highways and streets, electric system, water and sewer, sanitation, golf course and various grants. Revenues received from federal, state and local sources would be used to fund the expenditures.

A variant upstream of human leukocyte antigen C (HLA-C) shows the most significant genome-wide effect on HIV control in European Americans and is also associated with the level of HLA-C expression. We characterized the differential cell surface expression levels of all common HLA-C allotypes and tested directly for effects of HLA-C expression on outcomes of HIV infection in 5243 individuals. Increasing HLA-C expression was associated with protection against multiple outcomes independently of individual HLA allelic effects in both African and European Americans, regardless of their distinct HLA-C frequencies and linkage relationships with HLA-B and HLA-A. Higher HLA-C expression was correlated with increased likelihood of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses and frequency of viral escape mutation. In contrast, high HLA-C expression had a deleterious effect in Crohn's disease, suggesting a broader influence of HLA expression levels in human disease.
