DHAKA (Reuters) - Gunmen opened fire and tossed bombs on Sunday at a prison van carrying militants of a banned Islamist movement to a court house, freeing three of their colleagues and killing a policeman in the ambush, police and witnesses said.
The three convicts sprung from their police escort were members of the group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), including the group's explosives expert. Two had been sentenced to death.
