Bangladesh authorities have released a video identifying four persons suspected of being involved in a cafe attack here early this month that left 22 people dead.
The video, released by Bangladesh's Rapid Action Battalion, showed three youths and a young woman walking on the streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka on the night of July 1 when at least seven terrorists -- claimed to be from the Islamic State militant group -- stormed the Spanish cafe, Xinhua news agency reported.
On Tuesday, the video was posted on a social media page of the batallion force. People were requested to provide information about the suspects.
Nine Italians, seven Japanese, two Bangladeshis, an Indian girl, and a Bangladeshi-origin US citizen as well as two police officials were among the 22 people killed in the attack.
The IS terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Bangladeshi politicians have blamed "homegrown" Islamist terrorists.
