A court sentenced 10 members of the banned Islamist group Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to death for assisting with a suicide bombing at a lawyers’ association office in Gazipur in 2005 that killed nine people and injured at least 100 more. JMB founder Sheikh Abdur Rahman and five other leaders of the group were hanged in March 2007 after a government crackdown.
