84 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ ৩৭। পাশবিক হত্যা (সম্পাদকীয়) নিউইয়র্ক টাইমস ৬ মে, ১৯৭১ THE NEW YORK TIMES, MA Yo, 1971 Editorial SAVAGE SLAUGHTER It has been several years since Washington furnished Pakistan a quantity of heavy arms-tanks and jet fighters, chiefly-in order to protect its national security. Unfortunately, the agreement did not specify that Karachi respect the security of its own nationals. Consequently, as the Department of State has finally admitted defensively, the planes and the armor were used freely in the campaign of savage slaughter in East Pakistan that began late in March. Washington also concedes having supplied Pakistan with ammunition and military equipment parts in recent years. Against that background, the private pleas for restraint it claims to have made to Karachi can scarcely have been very effective.
