Move towards Bangladesh recognizing Ted Kennedy (and a Beatle)

SOURCE: BBC (12-11-08)

Masood Sobhan told the BBC the former Beatle and serving US senator played "key roles" during the country's 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.

Mr Sobhan said it was a "disgrace" that the pair had not been recognised.

His case for them to be honoured is expected to be heard by the Bangladeshi High Court at the end of December.
