The Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal, Chittagong yesterday sentenced Javed Iqbal alias Mohammad, divisional chief of the banned Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), to 10 years' imprisonment in August 17, 2005 serial blasts case.
Tribunal Judge Md Shafiqul Karim declared the verdict for three bomb blasts in city's Bahodderhat, Muradpur intersection and OR Nizam Road area. The court, however, acquitted Arshadul Alam alias T Alam, a JMB cadre and another accused in the case. The court made the verdict after the hearing of 12 witnesses. The then Sub-Inspector Abdul Bari of Panchlaish Police Station filed the case accusing the two while the police submitted the charge sheet on January 14, 2007. Later, the charge was framed on April 19 in the same year. Rapid Action Battalion arrested Javed along with his associate Jafar from a house in the city's Kattali area on December 14, 2005 and seized huge quantity of explosives and bomb-making materials.

#1 The Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal, Chittagong yesterday sentenced Javed Iqbal alias Mohammad, divisional chief of the banned Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), to 10 years' imprisonment in August 17, 2005 serial blasts case. Hmm, how "speedy" is a three year period from crime to sentencing? I wonder... |
