B'desh SC upholds death sentence for Islamic group leader
Bangladesh's Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld death sentences for Mufti Abdul Hannan, chief of Islamist militant group Harkatul Jihad al-Islami, and two of his associates. The militants were found guilty of an attack on a British envoy in 2004, which resulted in deaths of three policemen. The militants will be hanged unless they appeal against the verdict.
