The bodies of the victims from the Dhaka terrorist attack have started to be returned to their families. At a memorial service Monday, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, paid her respects to family members. Security was tightened around Dhaka during the service. 

Twenty hostages were killed in the attack at an upscale restaurant Friday night. Most of the hostages are foreign nationals. 

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Bangladesh’s government has dismissed the claim, saying homegrown militants were to blame.
