Bangladesh indicts Islamic leaders for war crimes ... the chief of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, on 16 charges, including genocide and murder... Bangladesh — with help from India — won independence from Pakistan in 1971 after a nine-month war. Bangladesh says Pakistani soldiers, aided by local collaborators, killed some 3 million people, raped about 200,000 women and forced millions to flee their homes during the war. Jamaat-e-Islami openly campaigned against breaking away from Pakistan during the war, and several party leaders now stand accused of collaborating with the Pakistani army in committing atrocities.
