Hours long standoff in the capital of bangladesh ended just a short time ago. Were learning that 20 hostages were killed, all of them foreigners. This started when a gunman seized the cafe a popular site in dhaka. 14 hostages were rescued as police stormed that restaurant a few hours ago. Six attackers were killed. Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. U. S. Officials are casting doubt on that. One said a gunman had 10 or 12 grenades during the standoff and the entire building was shaken in the explosion. I want to get to Cnn International correspondent sumnima udas. Shes got the very latest for us. Thank you for being here. What are you learning . Reporter the latest that we got, really, 20 civilians were killed. All 20 were foreigners that were killed at the most part were shot. We dont know the nationalities. Its not been revealed to us by officials. We do not know why they were killed, how they were killed when security personnel entered the restaurant it happened. Also a big question, the Prime Minister of the country has said that 13 hostages have been rescued. Three of them are believed to be foreigners. Out of those three one is a japanese, two sri lankans. Now, the japanese who has been rescued, hes been treated. He was injured but hes in a safe condition. Hes believed to have been with seven other japanese colleagues in that restaurant at the time. We do not know the fate of those other seven japanese nationals. Christi. Sumnima, we had heard reports, and im wondering if you could clarify for us if there is indeed one of these terrorists, i suppose you would call them, that was captured that was not killed . Do we know if that is the case . Reporter thats what the Prime Minister said in the press conference. That one of the terrorists has been captured, six of them were killed. Now, that is that is hugely helpful, of course, for authorities in bangladesh, because that would give them some indication, of course, once theyre able to question him, as to whos behind it, why they did it. Of course, earlier on, when the police were trying to negotiate with them, we understand that the attackers had made no demands. So, we do not know who is behind it. Of course, as you said, isis has claimed responsibility. They claimed responsibility very early on, pretty much an hour after that attack began. That hostage situation began. But very soon after, quite a few analysts and Security Officials in the United States have questioned that because isis really doesnt voluntary much of a presence in bangladesh. In fact, the government has long denied that isis is present in bangladesh. And in fact, al qaeda has more of a presence here. So, again, we do not know whos responsible. There have been a number of attacks in the past against individuals, bloggers, writers, intellectuals. Minority groups. Isis has claimed responsibility for that as well, but every time the government has denied that isis is actually present in bangladesh. Sumnima udas, thank you. The siege lasted about 13 hours they entered the cafe with guns, explosives and this is their characterizations, a lot of sharp weapons. Andrew stevens has more. Reporter an unidentified man carried. Teams of bomb explosive experts and ambulances lined up waiting for the worst. Warning shots were fired in the air. And then i heard an explosion. Reporter the sounds of terror walking the streets of dhaka. Gunman in a cafe for foreigners in an upscale diplomatic quarter, some inside were able to escape others were taken hostage. My cousin actually has four inside being held hostage right now. Were very worried. You have to remember, this is also ramadan, this is the time when people go out to eat, especially on a friday night. So the restaurant would be more crowded than usual, i would think. Reporter the siege went on through the night, hour after hour, with no word what is happening inside the holey artisan bakery and then this. It woke me up. Reporter a gun battle followed by an eerie silence. That silence broken not long after by explosions as Security Forces swept the restaurant. The military said troops rescued more than a dozen hostages shooting dead six gunmen and capturing at least one alive. But then the shocking news that the military had also found 20 bodies in the restaurant all hacked or stabbed to death. Isis claimed responsibility even before the siege ended but u. S. Officials say there could be other players involved. Whats happening in bangladesh is disturbing because effectively, its become a battleground for the isisaffiliated group and the Al Qaedaaffiliated group. Reporter terror has struck dhaka in the past. Secular bloggers and other writers have been hacked to death by islamic extremists. The government has launched a nationwide crackdown, but authorities havent put a scar of this terror on bangladeshs soul before. I think weve seen a rise of radicalization lately. No one expected that to take place. Reporter andrew stevens, cnn. As far as the target of secular groups, an alarming frequency and bloodshed. Theres been at least 35 hacking attacks in 14 months. This is according to the u. S. Ambassador to bangladesh. Of those, 23 have been claimed by terror groups. Most of those are bloggers and those who go against islam. And this morning, were also following developments in that terror attack in turkey. There are new details about the men who carried out a series of suicide attacks. The bombers, the three have been named. A man named akhmed onearm. Reporter the men who orchestrated this horror, and unleashed it on istanbuls ataturk airport tuesday may now be known. The two of the suicide bombers who carried out the plot are now being named. It reports that they carried out the attacks. As for the man who directed the operation, u. S. Officials tell cnn Ahmed Chatayev, an aisis operative from chechnya is likely to have carried out the plot. He travelled to syria. Reporter he is going by the nickname akhmed onearm. Hes missing one arm. Used that, reportedly used that fact to argue when he went to europe to get refugee state tuesday. He said, i have been tortured by the russians. The u. S. Placed him on the terrorist list just last year but hes been around for a long time. Reporter investigators are digging in, trying to find out more about the men running through the terminals, ravishing weapons and detonating bombs. Translator terror and terrorists do not have religion, do not have nations do not have a motherland. We are going to fight them with our soldiers, with our police and with our village guards. Reporter 24 people including 15 foreigners have now been detained according to turkish state media. Police are also asking local residents about the security image showing the three men believed to be suspects. Authorities told us they believe the three holed up for months in an apartment in istanbul. The three then, they say, came directly from raqqah. As the investigation unfolds, families are burying their loved ones. They knew isis all too well. His son joined the group as a medic last year. The family friend said he had been in istanbul to help negotiate his sons rescue from a terror group only to have extremists to take his life instead. Theres a big problem thats bubbling up along the florida coast. Whats causing a toxic green algae to bloom in the water. People say yes, it looks bad, it smells worse. Also, this is weather out west, and this is where a Tornado Warning in a major city in the middle of the desert. And Loretta Lynch doing damage control by talking to bill clinton. But did she make a mistake by talking to the former president when her department is looking at his wife. I certainly wouldnt do it again because i think it has cast a shadow over what it will not. What it should not touch. Thats why i think its important to talk about how this matter will be resolved. The captivating lexus rc, with available 306 horsepower. This is the pursuit of perfection. Americans are buying more of everything online. And so many businesses rely on the Us Postal Service to get it there. Thats why we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. The Us Postal Service. Priority you and i certainly wouldnt do it again. And, you know, because i think it has cast a shadow over what it should not. Over what it will not touch. Thats why, as i said, i think its important to talk about how this matter will be resolved. And how the review and determinations and decisions will be made. You know, i can say, as i have said, its going to be handled by career people. And we can make an announcement as to what it is but unless some people have some insight into that process, theyre not going to be able to evaluate that. Attorney general lore rejeng lynch offering regret over her meeting with bill clinton as they investigate Hillary Clintons use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. But donald trump says hes not buying lynchs explanation that the meeting was purely social. To have a thing like that happen, its so sad. As you know, hillary is so guilty. I think that he really i think he really opened it up. He opened up a pandoras box. And it shows whats going on. And it shows whats happening with our laws, and with our government. Well, lets talk about it, were joined by Political Editor for right alert. Com. And Scottie Hughes and scott bolduan. Weve got scott and scott. Good morning. Good morning. Scott, lets start with you. The clintons have a very long history with Loretta Lynch, dating back to when bill clinton appointed lynch to the u. S. Attorney position in 1999. Considering now the shadow cast, to use the characterization by the attorney general yesterday, should she fully recuse herself from this investigation . No, probably not, actually. You know, bill clinton and Loretta Lynch go back a long way. They were both thinking socially and not politically. They werent thinking about perceptions. And this happens all the time, at least in washington. Lawyers and judges will communicate socially. Its not a ex parte communication unless youre talking ex parte about the investigation. Certainly didnt make the case. Or that wasnt the case here, Loretta Lynch fully disclosed. Like any other investigation, shes going to listen to the fbi, listen to career prosecutors and the decision is going to be made. I think this is more the makings of the media or republicans who say, uhhuh, theres a piece of this with conspiracy with bill clinton. It happens, especially in washington. So bill clinton being bill clinton. Scottie, let me come to you, donald trump tweeted does anybody really believe that meeting was just a coincidence . But we know hes had other meetings with senator cruz and arnold schwarzenegger. The optics are bad. Could it have been one of those meeting . You could be right. However, the damage has already been done to the Clinton Campaign. This is very bad. Remember hair dates from 1993, when bill clinton sat down on the tarmac for two hours. Bill had to have better sense not to go own a plane with a woman who is investigating and by conflict resolution, also investigating him because it involves the clinton foundation. But the damage has already been done to the Clinton Campaign. People have confirmed a message that mr. Trump has that you cannot trust the clintons. You cannot trust washington, d. C. Even if you find wrongdoing, its only going to be covered up by more wrongdoing. Ill stay with you, scottie. You say the damage has been done. Senator korman called for a special conference in the case. He called for it before the meeting and after the tarmac meeting. Has the investigation been tainted . So far whatever the outcome, those who believe that secretary clinton should be indicted will point to this meeting . Absolutely. And lets remember, the only reason were talking about this because one reporter defied the rules and actually came out and said, by the way, did you know bill clinton walked over and got on Loretta Lynchs plane. The only reason were mentioning this. This wasnt on any sort of agenda. This was not previously announced. Youre right, its one of those, now, the damage has done and were getting done to nittygritty. Scott, go ahead. Absolutely. You know, listen. Im a former prosecutor, ive done these investigations. This is a nonstory. Whatever mr. Trump is talking about or my colleague scottie is talking about its a hope and prayer. Its pure conjecture. This investigation that has been going on at least a year or two, theres nothing tainted about it because the husband who is the subject of that investigation had a social conversation. What happens wrong with that . It happens all the time. Now, if you distrust bill clinton and you dont believe what the report said with the attorney general, maybe you dont want this to go away. Maybe you dont want a decision until after the general election. Again, thats all conjecture. Career prosecutors and the fbi deal with facts. Theres nothing wrong with this meeting other than the public perception. The media and republican critics are making more of it than ma is reality. Final words in 20 seconds. Its interesting that you actually pointed out waiting until after the election. 48 hours on wednesday, the Justice Department filed a motion to not have any emails release until after the election. The timing, once again, just looks very conspicuous. Mrs. Clinton doesnt control that, neither does bill clinton. Scott and scottie, thank you for being with us. If you support secretary clinton you will see nothing here. If you do not asupport here, you will likely see everything here. That pile is getting higher and higher each day. Thank you both. Christi. Alrighty. Is this a tough situation to have on the july 4th weekend if youre headed to the beach, particularly in florida. A green slime blooming along parts of the florida gulf coast. Can slime bloom . In this case, it can, alison is breaking it down for us. Thats right. This is a very popular destination for tourists this time of year. But theyre going to have to deal with closed beaches. Well tell you why coming up. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com. I got the discounts that you need safe driver accidentfree everybody put your flaps in the air for me well, toxic algae is blooming. Thats what were looking at there. And it isnt pretty, is it, when we talk about bloom . Its just blanketing several florida beaches which makes it impossible for any fourth of july plans to go for if you want to get in the water. Cnn drones flew over all of this to give us this view. It looks nasty and they say its dangerous at the beaches right now. And smells terrible. This famously pristine blue water, its gone. Several counties on the states treasured coast are under states of emergency. A Nonprofit Group said the algae water is caused by unregulated pollution across the state. Governor scott said it has more to do with limitations on water storage. Alison chin jar is joining us now. Do we have any indication how long it will stick around . Honestly, guys, it would be the rest of the summer because theres a lot of factors that go into play here. Lets take a look at the area of concern. Notice, its southern florida, im not talking about the panhandle of florida. Martin county, st. Lucia county, lee county and palm beach county. Where the w is in west palm beach, thats lake okeechobee. You got the rivers that blowout wards. These counties are having the big issues. This is a lot of times all the way up to the beaches where people would go to spend their vacation there. The reason why, the breakdown of the algae blooms. Take a look beneath me and this gives a breakdown. What awe have is urban runoff, things from holes, businesses, stuff like that. You as have the agricultural runoff, pesticides, fertilizers, things like that, also flowing down into this. The sun above heats all of that up and that is perfect fuel for a lot of these al jeez to really kind of build up in a lot of this area. Again, this is why were having a lot of these issues. The unfortunate part is even though theyre starting to lower the amount of water thats being released out of lake okeechobee, its a delayed effect. So youll continue to have these problems for maybe another week or even several more months before this finally can clear back up along a lot of the beaches. Guys, unfortunately, thats not good news. Not just for the tourists but the people in the tourism communities that are relying on the money from the tourism. Governor scott described it, just to give you an idea of what it is guacamole thick. You can match thin if you think about guacamole floating on the water. Its quite descriptive. Alison shinjar, thank you so much. You think about this, think about the sea life. And thats one of the things i was thinking about. Take a close look here, if you would, please. This screen. That is a manatee in the water there, obviously just trying to get to some sort of fresh water if its remotely possible. It does seem that hes struggling. Is this a canal here. There he is, and the fresh water that hes getting is from a garden hose. The man who shot this said the water is very thick and it smells like something died. Well talk more about this throughout the morning. Lets get back to the breaking news out of bangladesh. The bodies of 20 people outside of a cafe in that countrys capital. Plus, after the attack at this cafe and istanbul, were talking more about targets on alert. Well take a look at the ramped up security across the u. S. This weekend. What has be
