The bodies of seven Japanese murdered by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh were repatriated Tuesday when an Air Self-Defense Force jet carrying their coffins arrived at Tokyo's Haneda airport.
Family members accompanied the bodies aboard the plane from Dhaka three days after security forces in the city stormed the upscale restaurant where attackers tortured and executed diners.
Draped in white sheets, the caskets were unloaded and placed on cargo trolleys on the tarmac.
