Bangladesh's Awami League leader's son among Dhaka attackers

DHAKA (92 News) – Bangladesh's ruling Awami League leader’s son is one of the seven attackers who hacked to death 20 hostages at a restaurant in the diplomatic enclave. Rohan Ibne Imtiaz, the son of S M Imtiaz Khan Babul, a leader of the party's Dhaka City chapter and Bangladesh Olympic Association's deputy secretary general, has been identified as one of the attackers by another Awami League leader. Babul had lodged a police complaint on January 4 this year stating that his son had been missing. Former classmates have uploaded a photo combo in the social media of Rohan with his parents and the photo, monitoring group SITE Intelligence published on Twitter, reportedly released by the ISIS, as one of the Dhaka cafe attackers.
