Those who shielded war criminals won’t be spared: B'desh PM
Bangladesh's PM Sheikh Hasina has warned that people who shielded war criminals during the country's 1971 liberation war will be put on trial. "Those who had handed them (Pakistan) the flag of independence are also equally responsible for their crimes," she said. Fundamentalist group, Jamaat-e-Islami, had opposed Bangladesh's independence and sided with the Pakistani army during the 1971 war.
