DHAKA, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh has identified two Dhaka terror masterminds and announced a cash reward of 4 million taka (about 50,632 U.S. dollars) to anyone giving information leading to the arrest of the militant kingpins.
Inspector General of Bangladesh Police AKM Shahidul Huq in a press conference in Dhaka on Tuesday made the announcement.
He said one Canadian-Bangladeshi Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury along with former army officer Syed Md Ziaul Haque, who has been dismissed for a coup attempt, plotted to attack Spanish cafe in Dhaka's diplomatic enclave Gulshan.
"We won't reveal the identity of the confidential informants," Huq said.
According to the police chief, both Chowdhury and Haque were also behind the attack near the country's largest Sholakia Eid prayer venue on July 7 and the militants were gunned down in Dhaka's downtown Kalyanpur area during a raid on July 26.
