All war criminals would be brought to justice and their verdicts will be executed in the fashion the sentence of Abdul Quader Mollah has been executed, LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Syed Ashraful Islam said today.

Many people said it would not be possible for the government to hold trial of the war criminals. Mollah's execution proved it to be untrue, the AL general secretary said after paying tribute to martyred intellectuals at Mirpur Martyred Intellectuals Graveyard in the morning.

It is possible to bring back the war criminals living in other countries because everything is possible under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangla daily Prothom Alo quoted Ashraf as saying.

His statement came couple of days after the execution of convicted war criminal and Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general Mollah.

AL Advisory Council members Amir Hossain Amu and Tofail Ahmed and Presidium member Mohammad Nasim were present on the occasion.
