Bangladesh executes Islamist opposition leader for war crimes
Bangladesh executed Islamist opposition leader Abdul Quader Mollah on Thursday for war crimes committed in 1971, a government official said, in a move likely to ignite violent protests less than a month before elections are due to be held.
   
Mollah, who was hanged at Dhaka Central Jail, was assistant secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which is barred from contesting elections but plays a key role in the opposition movement led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
