Five operatives of banned militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh were yesterday sentenced to life in a case filed for the serial bombings in the district on August 17, 2005.
In a retrial, a court in Rajshahi yesterday commuted the death penalties of two Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) leaders to life imprisonment in a case filed for killing RU teacher Muhammad Yunus 12 years ago.
