– Dodging bullets –
“It was a horrendous night,” said Diego Rossini, an Argentine chef who managed to escape through a terrace during the siege.
“They (the hostage-takers) had automatic weapons and bombs,” he said on Argentinian TV as he described how he eventually managed to escape into the next-door building despite coming under fire.
“I felt bullets pass so close to me, I felt fear like I’ve never felt in my life.”
The father of one of the survivors was told by his son how the hostage-takers separated the locals from foreigners.
“They (the foreigners) were taken to the upper floor and the Bangladeshis were kept around a table,” Rezaul Karim told AFP.
“My daughter-in-law wears a hijab. Maybe that helped save the whole family.”
