Bangladeshi officials have named five of the men who carried out the country's worst terror attack on Friday and said they were known to police.
Twenty hostages, most of them foreign, were killed when Islamist militants stormed a cafe in the capital, Dhaka.
Two police officers also died and 30 were injured. After a 12-hour siege commandos rescued 13 people.
The so-called Islamic State group said it was behind the attack but the government has denied this.
Bangladesh's home minister said on Sunday that the attackers belonged to a local militant group which has been banned for more than a decade.
"They are members of the Jamaeytul Mujahdeen Bangladesh," Asaduzzaman Khan told the AFP news agency. "They have no connections with the Islamic State."
Police chief Shahidul Hoque only made the men's first names public: Akash, Bikash, Don, Bandhon and Ripon.
