2 JMB militants get 10 years in jug in Sylhet
2007-07-11
A speedy trial court here yesterday sentenced two Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants to 10 years rigorous imprisonment (RI) each in the August 17 serial blasts case. Mohsin Khan, 27, son of Late Rusmot Ali of Kaziatal village in Muradnagar upazila and Abdul Hye, 27, son of Late Abdul Malek of Asadnagar village of Bhrahmanpara upazila in Comilla, were convicted for their active participation in exploding bombs at six spots here on August 17, 2005.

The two were teachers of Sengram Dakhil Madrassa in Jaintapur upazila. While pronouncing the verdict, Sylhet Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal Judge Biplob Goswami also fined each of them Tk 5,000, in default, to suffer one year more RI.

Earlier, the convicts admitted their complicity with the incident of serial blasts before the District Judge's Court here. Kotwali police sub-inspector (SI) Chand Miah submitted charge-sheet before the magistrate's court on November 17, 2005. Police also submitted a supplementary charge sheet on January 16, 2006. Examining all records and witnesses, the court pronounced the judgement under Section 3 of Explosives Act.

The two convicts along with another accused will be produced before Speedy Trial Tribunal as trial of two more cases in connection with August 17 serial blasts will begin in the same court on July15 and 16, court sources said. Trials of all the cases in connection with the August 17 blasts are likely to be completed by August this year, court sources informed.
