DHAKA: A Bangladesh military captain arrested after nearly 25 years on the run over the assassination of the country’s founding leader will be executed, officials said Wednesday. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, was killed along with most of his family in a military coup on August 15, 1975, nearly four years after he led Bangladesh to independence. In 1998 Abdul Majed was sentenced to death along with a dozen other army officers over the murders. Bangladesh’s Supreme Court upheld the verdict in 2009 and five of the killers were executed several months later.
