A tribunal on Monday ordered that four top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) be jailed in connection with the 'war crimes' committed during Bangladesh's 1971 freedom movement.
This was the first ruling given by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal that is trying Islamist militants accused of rape, loot and murder of thousands of unarmed civilians in the run-up to the movement that led to separation from Pakistan.
The accused are JeI chief Motiur Rahman Nizami, secretary general Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojahid and two senior assistant secretary generals Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Mollah.

he number of high-income households should have reached 46.7 million by March 2010, exceeding the 41 million households counted as low-incomes.
So, India has only 46.7+41=87.7 million households??
If we take India to have one billion people that means on average each household has about =1000/87.7 or more than 10 people per house??
According to researchers, Tamil Nadu had the largest growth in terms of income...in India...! |

and tamil nadu's contribution reaches 165 billion
this financial year
The Indian economy would grow to $1.72 trillion in 2011-12, moving closer towards the $2 trillion mark, according to an assessment by the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC).
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) at the market and current prices was measured at $1.31 trillion in 2009-10 and is estimated to be $1.52 trillion in the current fiscal, the PMEAC said in its latest economic outlook.
Pegging the GDP growth at nine%, the economy would reach a level of $1.72 trillion in 2011-12, it said.
If the nine% growth trend is maintained, India would become $2 trillion economy in 2013-14 fiscal.

muat make singala monkies axw stories a bit sad
Even during the penultimate stages of the war much of the rhetoric emanating from LTTE ranks spoke of a fight to the finish rather than capitulation of any form. It was anticipated that the LTTE may court death en masse rather than surrender to the Sri Lankan armed forces.
This attitude was certainly true of the LTTE hierarchy and military command. A large number of senior tiger leaders including the Supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran along with a sizeable number of fighters fought to the very end. Several committed suicide by blowing themselves up or consuming cynaide.
There was however another side to this saga. While LTTE fighters were fighting to the death on the one hand ,thousands of other tiger combatants on the other were surrendering at different stages as the end of the conflict was drawing near. This process began after the fall of Paranthan and accelerated when Viswamadhu was taken.

In a friendly, quasi-fraternal encounter at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, I suggested to Vuk Jeremic the articulate young Foreign Minister of Serbia that they should go for a UN General Assembly vote. He told me that they were first taking it to the World Court. That was a mistake, and the judgment may have a knock-on effect on the UNGA vote if taken now. Expert commentators say that Kosovo and its patrons are targeting the magic figure of one hundred.
During the last stages of the last war, Sri Lanka was to be the guinea pig of the Kosovo/R2P doctrine. This is why no compromise which made for international presence such as an office of the UN Human Rights High Commissioner or international inspection within a compressed time frame just after the war, could be the basis for any compromise in Geneva. That would have been the foothold, or the first step on the road to Kosovo.
That project, the Kosovo/R2P game-plan for Sri Lanka, is still ongoing, albeit by other means. In an article after our victory at the UN HRC Special Session, I wrote that this was either the last battle of the old war or the first one of the new war, and ventured to suggest that a long Cold War may have just begun .

Guy Platton, Charge d affaires of the Delegation of the European Union says theEU
never felt that it was a criminal act on the part of the Sri Lankan government to wage war on the LTTE,
Why are the Sinhalayass quoting the 'suddha' Guy Platton, even the Tamils never said that the Sri Lankan government's war against the LTTE is a criminal act or illegal. But the Tamils say in the name of waging war against insurgents, carpet bombing the homes and villages, burrying alive the children, using food, medicine and rape as the weapon of war, killing and maiming the humanitarian workers, bombing the hospitals and schools, designating a place as the safe zone and bombing the same place to kill innocent civilians, using illegal cluster bombs and using chemical weapons etc are criminal acts committed by the Sri Lankan government.
If the Sinhalese deny these allegations, if they have nothing to hide, they wouldn't have any problem allowing the independent journalists to Vanni or an independent inquiry more than a year after the war.
