The War Crimes Facts Finding Committee today will announce a list of 1,200 war criminals including members of Pakistan occupation forces who were directly involved in mass killing during the Liberation War.
“After conducting investigation and research for seven years, we are going to announce the list of perpetrators of war crimes and genocide,” Dr MA Hasan, convener of War Crimes Facts Finding Committee told The Daily Star last night.

About 13 researchers had been engaged in preparing the list from 1999 to 2006.
Claiming that they have all the necessary evidence and documents, he said the Committee is ready to show its documents and other information once the government forms special tribunal for trying war criminals.
