Police have identified the masterminds and instigators of the July 1 terror attack on the Holey Artisan caf, in Gulshan area, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia told journalists today.

"It is now clear to us how the attack was carried out on the Gulshan restaurant and who were the instigators", he told a media briefing 24 days after the carnage overnight when 22 people, including 17 foreigners and two police officers, were killed while seven presumed militants were gunned down in a subsequent army-led security clampdown next morning.

The DMP chief added that investigations were underway on the basis of some specific information and evidence collected from the scene while police were confident that all the militants and their instigators would be booked soon.

"It is now only a matter of time to roundup the culprits", he said.
