DHAKA, OCT. 20. Three fugitive non-commissioned army officers were given death sentences and 12 retired senior military officers life terms in the historic case of murdering four independence leaders in the Dhaka Central Jail in 1975. The four leaders — Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, M. Mansur Ali and A.H.M. Qamaruzzaman — who led Bangladesh's War of Liberation in 1971 when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was in Pakistani custody — were gunned down on November 3, 1975. The gruesome killings took place a few months after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The judge acquitted four former Ministers.
