On Sunday, two Islamist militants who had been sentenced to death for the
murder of prominent Bangladeshi-American secular blogger Avijit Roy and his
publisher escaped from the premises of a crowded court in Dhaka with the
help of unidentified bikers who sprayed some chemicals on police and
created a smoke screen before whisking away the convicts.
A statewide notice has been issued to recapture them, and an investigation
has been initiated to determine how this happened, home minister
Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told reporters several hours after the occurrence.
