Bangladesh on Wednesday executed banned Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami chief Mufti Abdul Hannan and his two associates for a 2004 attack on a shrine that killed three people and wounded the British high commissioner at the time.
Eight Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami terrorists, including its chief, were sentenced to death by a Bangladeshi court on Monday for a 2001 bomb attack targeting Bengali new year celebrations that claimed 10 lives.
