Dhaka, June 20: Ten militants of a banned Bangladeshi outfit were sentenced to death today by a fast-track court here after they were found guilty of involvement in a deadly suicide bombing in 2005 that claimed eight lives.
The court handed down death penalty to 10 operatives of the banned outfit Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) for the 2005 suicide bomb attack that killed eight people, including lawyers, at suburban Gazipur.
"The convicts will be hanged to death," Judge Muhammad Motahar Hossain of Dhaka's Speedy Trial Tribunal said while announcing the verdict in a crowded courtroom.
The verdict was announced in the presence of the militants who appeared in court under heavy security.
