A court in Bangladesh sentenced Thursday 10 Islamic militants to death after finding them guilty of assisting a suicide bombing that killed eight people, a prosecutor said.

A judge announced the sentence to a crowded court room in the capital Dhaka, special public prosecutor Rafiqul Islam told AFP.
