SAARC pull out over Pak protests on war crimes trial: B'desh
Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said Pakistan's protests over recent execution of a 1971 war crimes convict prompted Bangladesh to pull out of the SAARC Summit. The summit in Pakistan had been postponed "indefinitely" after five of the 8 SAARC member nations refused to attend. Hasina also called on India and Pakistan to "settle their issues through dialogue bilaterally".
