Seven Bangladesh militants get death for killing judges



Dhaka, May 29 (Xinhua) A court in Bangladesh's Jhalkathi town Monday sentenced seven Islamist militants to death for killing two judges last November.

Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB) chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman, his second-in-command Bangla Bhai and five others were blamed for a series of bombings on Aug 17 last year and suicide bomb attacks that killed 28 persons, including two judges in southern Jhaikathi town on Nov 14 last year.

Two senior assistant judges - Jagannath Pandey and Sohel Ahmed - were killed in the bomb attack on their car at Purba Chadkati in Jhalakathi.

While Rahman was arrested on March 2 from northeastern Sylhet, Bangla Bhai was arrested on March 6 from northern Mymensingh.

Additional District and Sessions Judge of Jhalakati, Reza Tarik Ahmed, delivered the verdict in the sensational case after examining 45 witnesses. The prosecution urged death sentence for all the eight militants involved in the crime.

Earlier, the Barisal Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal awarded 40 years rigorous imprisonment on Feb 20 under sections of the explosive act in another case connected with the judges' killing.

Widespread security measures were taken in and around the court area of Jhalakati and also in different judicial and other offices in the region on the occasion.

When the court pronounced the verdict, Rahman and Bangla Bhai reportedly exclaimed, 'we are the holy warriors and we are not afraid of death'.
