CNN) -- Libyan rebels have looted and burned homes and abused civilians, a human rights group said Wednesday.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said that in "four towns captured by rebels in the Nafusa Mountains over the past month, rebel fighters and supporters have damaged property...
No offence but Saudi's having nukes is a threat, not only to Iran but to everyone in the region. I can understand why Iran wants nukes, but why do Saudi's? Iran has been threatened at least once in the past by an illegal, illegitimate , yet powerful state in the region and that is the single...
the 21st August grenade attack investigation has lost credibility long, long time ago. Mutfi Hannan, the main accused has been arrested during the BNP regime and is still serving the prison. Every time the govt changes, so does he's story. It was first some banned militant in Bangladesh, then...
I may have my details wrong, but it was SHeikh Hasina who has wanted the CTG system which she wants to scrap now. That is why Khaleda ZIa was ousted from power before in 1994-1995 before completing her entire term. Then the CTG was formed, which bought AL in power.
Other than that, this...
I stand corrected and I guess I made a mistake. But I expressed doubt about India being the 3rd largest investor in UK, no need to get personal and take offence, but what about in the States? Like one of your countrymen suggested that India is the second biggest investor in US, can you please...

I think the journalists should be shot. Its good to see India making progress but I think the journalist just want the Indian people to have a few orgasms. Matter of fact, I doubt the claim that Indians are the 3rd largest investors in UK.
So are you suggesting that govt should raise taxes for cars? The recent tax hikes in car imports have hit the growing middle class the highest and as usual the rich and corrupt awami league mp's has been able to manage tax free cars. I mean, think about the consequences, first you decide to get...
No I'm in england. According to a case study by university of chicago, it showed there is a correlation between minimum wage and poverty. Whenever they tried to increase the minimum wage, there would be an increase in poverty. Matter of fact, look at detroit Michigan. It was supposed to be one...
Agreed, but you can't just have rules and regulations so you deprive people of work. Who are you to decide that they can't be able to drive a rickshaw? Do you think it was them who decided to drive a rickshaw as their first choice? Its the minimum wage law enforced by the govt so companies don't...
US won the war and anyone denying this simple fact is living in denial. US has been able to achieve its goals that too with only losing a small number of troops. But it has grossly underestimated the effects of the war. The war has resulted in more terrorism, bankrupt USA to 14 trillion debt...
I am a bit confused. Last time I read that ULFA was responsible for this attack and now I hear its LeT. The details of the investigation is NOT transparent even after the ruling party promised that it will be.
When the case initially started, some junior BNP leaders were accused of...
unIslamic to you maybe, but to some people SHeikh Hasina is the devil. The truth is people will always find ways to justify their actions. When Govt does a crackdown on the opposition, persecutes them, denies basic human rights and torture them, do you expect them not to protest? Jamaat has been...
If Rakhi Bahini was like BDR, we wouldn't be complaining now, would we? Rakhi Bahani was fierce, focused and efficient at getting things done. Offcourse, all for the wrong reasons, which is why they are a sad chapter in Bangladesh's history.
Matter of fact, many opposition leaders and activists has been picked up even in this regime and never seen again. Back then we had some disgruntled army men to take care of the fascist regime, but this time I see no hope.
I think the one party rule is now inevitable. Honestly speaking, awami league seems pretty strong and determined to continue with its agenda regardless of the opposition. I'm not too sure how credible this claims are but according to some sources, journalists who are speaking against the govt...
