Dhaka, Nov 22 (IBNS) Bangladesh on Sunday hanged BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid for the crimes committed by them against humanity during 1971.

According to reports, they were executed at 12:55am on Sunday.

The petitions for presidential clemency  of both the opposition leaders were on Saturday turned down by country's President Abdul Hamid.
