Bangladesh seeks hostage crisis clues

Security officials were searching for clues and criminal masterminds who might have set in motion the bloody hostage crisis that left 28 dead, including six attackers and 20 of the hostages, in the diplomatic zone of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.

Police were blocking all access to streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka’s Gulshan area, where heavily armed attackers holed up overnight on Friday, torturing and killing some of their captives including nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian teenager.

Many details of the attack remain unclear a day after commandos stormed the restaurant and rescued 13 people.
