Law Minister Moudud Ahmed said steps would be taken for speedy execution of Monday's court verdict awarding death penalty to seven top JMB leaders in Jhalakati judges' killing case.

"The judgement has reflected the aspiration of the people," he told reporters at a regular press briefing on the activities of his ministry yesterday.

In reply to a question, he said, "It is also the success of the prosecution."

Asked about the fate of the new anti-militancy law, Moudud said it is now under consideration of the cabinet committee.
