statement of AL President Sheikh Hasina at her Dhanmondi residence, Sudha Sadan.
Sources at Sudha Sadan said Hasina told the probe body the attack on her could not have been made without government support.
"That is why we sought an international probe into the matter... If the inspector general of police and Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner are interrogated, more information can be obtained," one source quoted Hasina as saying.
The probe body also took the statements of the driver of Hasina's car Abdul Matin, personal security officer Major (retd) Shoeb and Major (retd) Mamun about the incident.
After the nearly 45-minute meeting with Hasina, Convenor of the body Rokanuddin Mahmud told journalists they would make a report considering all aspects of the incident.
Member of the probe body Dr Kamal Hossain said they want to publish a proper, independent and neutral report on the incident. "In the past, many such bomb blast incidents took place in the country, but probes into those incidents were either not completed or their reports were not disclosed."
Earlier in the morning, the team visited AL's Bangabandhu Avenue headquarters and recorded statements of party leader Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Jubo League Chairman Jahangir Kabir Nanak and General Secretary Mirza Azam MP.
The leaders told the probe body the grisly grenade attack on the AL rally was made from the rooftop of a building and it was followed by gunshots targeting Sheikh Hasina. It appeared that the attack was carried out under the patronisation of police as the law enforcers fired teargas shells amid the grenade and gun attacks creating a panicky situation for the victims, they said.
They said there were no police on City Bhaban opposite the AL headquarters and in the alley between City Bhaban and Ramna Bhaban through which the attackers fled.
Mahbub, security guard of Hasina, was killed as the culprits fired to kill the leader of the opposition, they added.
The probe team also recorded statements of some people on and around Bangabandhu Avenue.
Meanwhile, investigators of six intelligence agencies yesterday visited the spot where the grenade attack was made and collected some evidence. They inspected Bata Showroom on Bangabandhu Avenue and went to the AL headquarters building to visit Muktijoddha Janata League office on the third floor of the building. But the office was under lock and key.
