EURO 2016: Italy to wear black armbands to mourn Dhaka attack victims

Italy national team will wear black armbands on tonight against Germany in honour for those killed yesterday night in Dhaka’s terrorist attack.
Twenty hostages have lost their lives during the attack that was claimed by terrorist group IS.
A terrorist attack at a bar in the capital of Bangladesh saw at least 20 hostages killed last night. Most of the victims are believed to be Italian or Japanese nationals.
UEFA have given Italy permission to wear black armbands in this evening’s game. It kicks off in Bordeaux at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
Nine Italians were killed and a 10th was listed as missing after militants attacked a restaurant in the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka and took hostages, Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said Saturday.
The nine fatalities comprised four men and five women, Gentiloni told the press, adding that relatives had been notified. A tenth Italian was in the restaurant when the attack unfolded but was not among the 20 listed as dead, he said.
