The attack on Howey Artisan coffee in Buraka had been made by a group of five men who had taken Muslims as hostages.
Eight people were tried on charges of planning and conducting weapons attacks. One of them was acquitted.
The 12-hour battle was the deadliest terrorist attack in Bangladesh. Most of the victims were from Italy and Japan, writes BBC, translates Periscope.
