A Chattogram court has sentenced death
penalty to five Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants for bombing a
mosque inside Bangladesh Navy's Issa Khan Base in 2015.
The death row convicts are- Abdul Mannan, Ramjan Ali, Bablu
Rahman, Abdul Gaffar and M Sakhawat Hossain.
Chattogram Anti-Terrorism Tribunal Judge Abdul Halim passed the
verdict today (17 August). The court also fined them Tk50,000 each. Public
Prosecutor Monoranjan Das confirmed the matter.
Meanwhile, separate charges filed under the Explosives Act in the
same incident are pending in another court.
Earlier, the same judge fixed 17 August (Wednesday) to pass the
verdict in the case filed over two blasts that took place at a mosque in the
Issa Khan naval base after Juma prayers on Friday, in December 2015, that injured
at least 24 people.
Naval Provost Marshal Commander M Abu Sayeed filed a case with the
police on 3 September 2016, around nine months after the incident. Police filed
the chargesheet with court on 5 October 2017, pressing charges against five
persons.
According to the police investigation, banned militant outfit JMB
was responsible for the attack. The bombing was carried out at the behest of
its Chattogram regional coordinator Raisul Islam Khan.
