Should be modified to:
The deep divisions over the tribunal and the specific charges against Khan reflect the volatile politics within Bangladesh itself, and the lingering bitterness over a bloody war that, by some estimates, claimed as many as three million lives.
Fighting began in March 1971, when Pakistani Military junta, led by dictator Yahiya Khan refused to hand over the power to the elected majority party leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and moved military forces into East Pakistan to crush consequent Bengali demands for a sovereign nation. The war ended nine months later, after India joined forces with the Bangladeshi independence movement to defeat Pakistan’s army.
