Bangladesh May 10 deployed thousands of police in the capital to prevent violence, after the main Islamist party called a nationwide strike to protest against its leader's execution for warcrimes. Jamaat-e-Islami party president Motiur Rahman Nizami was hanged late May 10 following his conviction for the massacre of intellectuals during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.
