Bangladesh police say a man they shot and killed believing he was a terrorist was the cafe chef

Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN) One of the gunmen involved in the deadly hostage standoff at a Dhaka cafe last Friday has been identified as the son of a politician in Bangladesh's ruling party.

In an interview with NDTV India, Imtiaz Khan Babul said his son, 21-year-old Rohan Imtiaz, was one the five attackers who stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery, killing 21 people as well as two police officers, before later being killed in a police raid.

"I saw the picture released by ISIS again and again before I confirmed it was my son. I was stunned to see it," said Babul, an Awami League politician.
