ANOTHER GENGHIS
For hundreds of years, the name of Genghis Khan has echoed through history as a by word for cruelty and butchery.
In the 20th century, it seems a Pakistani namesake of the great killer is determined to out do his grisly predecessor.
Pakistani General Tikka Khan-with modern nicety known as the “pacifier” of rebellious East Pakistan- is commanding fierce Punjabi and Pathan troops who are running wild in a fearsome blood bath.
There is overwhelming evidence of murder of senseless slaughter of children of repe, or prostitution organized by and for senior army officers, of wholesale, maddened, crazed, blood- thirsty determined massacre.
Genghis Khan for all his bloody faults, at least built up an empire in the course of his career.
Tikka Khan and his gang of uniformed cut-throats will be remembered for trying to destroy the people of half a nation.
