DHAKA – Doctors, engineers and university students are among 261 people officially missing in Bangladesh, with some feared recruited by Islamic militant groups as the country reels from a wave of deadly attacks.

More than two weeks after Islamists killed 20 foreign hostages in a siege at a cafe in Dhaka, police published a list overnight Tuesday of those missing and urged information on their whereabouts.

“We have to find them,” elite Rapid Action Battalion spokesman Mufti Mahmud Khan said, without saying how many were suspected to have joined extremist groups at home and abroad.
