A Bangladeshi court on Tuesday jailed 14 Islamist extremists for their roles in a deadly series of coordinated bomb attacks in 2005.
At least two people were killed and hundreds wounded in the blasts orchestrated by the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an outlawed Islamist group also blamed by authorities for last year’s deadly attack on a Dhaka cafe. The court in the central district of Tangail sentenced all 14 accused to 20 years in jail, although only 10 were present, the court inspector told AFP.
