Dutch aid agency files murder case over Tavella shooting

(see related) (ANSA) - Dhaka, September 29 - The Dutch aid agency Icco Cooperation on Tuesday filed for murder over Monday's shooting of Italian aid worker Cesare Tavella in Dhaka, the Daily Star reports.
    Tavella, 51, worked for ICCO Cooperation as program manager of a large-scale food security and economic development project for rural populations in Bangladesh.
    On Tuesday ICCO Cooperation also released a statement saying it was "deeply saddened" by the "shocking news" of Tavella's death.
    He was shot dead while jogging in Dhaka's Gulshan diplomatic zone. Islamic State (ISIS) militants claimed the attack.
    "Cesare was a hard-working professional, committed to help the people of Bangladesh," the statement read.
    "He was respected and loved by all his team members in the country office and field offices around the country," continued the aid agency, extending its "heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones he leaves behind".
    Meanwhile the US authorities on Tuesday advised American citizens to limit their movement, saying "militants may be planning to target Australian interests in Bangladesh" ahead of cricket Test matches in October.
    "Such attacks, should they occur, could likely affect other foreigners, including US citizens," the US State Department said.
    Australia, Canada and the UK have also issued their own warnings to citizens in Bangladesh.
