Let’s get to know a little bit more the executioners and the victims of the Dhaka attack.
Executioners (not all the picture are available to-date):

It emerges that they are from well-known schools with Western curriculum for the children of the well-to-do in the city, not “poor and disperate” youngster. They come off such a social class that knows the kind of people that hang out at “Holey Artisan Bakery” at Dhaka’s upscale Gulshan area.
Three of the gunmen whose photos the IS purportedly released have so far been identified.
One of them, Nibras Islam, has been recognised as a student of the private “North South University” that requires almost all students to pay high tuition fees. His high school, “International Turkish Hope School”, is not for everyone in Bangladesh. Young Nibras has been identified also as ‘treasurer’ of Australia-based “Monash University’s International Student Services” for its Malaysia campus. He returned from Malaysia and enrolled at the private university in Dhaka because ‘he didn’t like Malaysia’. He liked football. His businessman father has two houses in Dhaka. One of Nibras’s three uncles is a deputy secretary to the Awami League ruling government, another is a police officer while the other is a scientist.
The two other gunmen have been identified as Mir Samih Mubashir and Rohan Imtiaz. Both went to “Scholastica”, one of the top institute of Bangladeshi “jet-set”.
A local newspaper has reported that Mubashir had been missing for the previous four months. His father, Mir A Hayat Kabir, an executive at Alcatel-Lucent Bangladesh, registered his son’s details with Gulshan police on Feb 29, the day he ‘went missing’. His mother Khaleda Parveen teaches at a government college. His elder brother is studying at the University of Toronto.
Rohan’s father, SM Imtiaz Khan Babul, is a former executive of Dhaka city unit of ruling Awami League. He is also a deputy secretary general of Bangladesh Olympic Association. The Awami League leader is being investigated for alleged human smuggling. He, too, informed Mohammadpur Police on Jan 4 of his son ‘going missing’. Twenty years old Rohan was studying at “BRAC University” (virtually the Top of the Bangladesh University) after completing higher secondary education from “Scholastica”, where his mother is still a teacher.

Much easier to speak about the nine Italian victims. Common their story: they are all more or less traders and entrepreneurs of the textile sector in Bangladesh. Basically, people who contributed to the 77% of total export business of the country. 4 million Bangladeshis are working in this sector.
Here their name, 5 women and 4 men, victim of this holocaust:
