Bangladesh police say they may have mistakenly killed at least one hostage in the Dhaka siege on Saturday, reports AFP.

Twenty people were killed in a hostage situation after six to ten terrorists stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka.

Saiful Islam, a senior police official in Dhaka, said Saiful Islam Chowkidar was among six men who were killed by the police. Chowkidar was a pizza maker at the Holey Artisan restaurant.

However, media wing of ISIS had identified five of the dead attackers, according to intel group named SITE.
