Under gray skies, the bodies of the seven Japanese killed in a militant attack in Bangladesh returned to home soil early morning today.

A Japanese government plane, which had brought family members and government officials to Bangladesh to retrieve the victims, touched down at 6:50am local time at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Bangladesh Ambassador Rabab Fatima and other officials laid bouquets of flowers in between the boxes. Kishida said later that the cruel act of terrorism had taken precious lives.
