Musharraf regrets 1971 excesses

By Haroon Habib

DHAKA July 30. The Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, today regretted the "excesses'' committed by his country's Army 31 years ago in the Bangladesh war of liberation, in which three million Bengalis were killed. On the orders of the then chief of the armed forces, Yahya Khan, the Pakistan Army had perpetrated the massacre to counter the liberation forces of East Pakistan, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
