A Bangladeshi campaigner for capital punishment for all war crime suspects involved in the 1971 war of independence holds a noose during a protest against a court ruling commuting the death sentence of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014. Sayedee must remain in prison "for the rest of his natural life," Chief Justice Muzammel Hossain said. A war crimes tribunal convicted the Islamist political leader in February 2013 for eight counts involving mass killings, rape and atrocities committed during the nine-month war against Pakistan in 1971.

FILE - In this Nov. 27, 1996 file photo, U.S. Rep. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., left, shakes hands with Evan C. Hunziker of Tacoma, Washington, upon their arrival at Yokota Air Base on the outskirts of Tokyo. Hunziker, 26, who was jailed for three months in North Korea on spy charges was freed and arrived in Japan with Richardson who negotiated his release. Time and again, Americans over the years have slipped into poor, deeply suspicious, fervently anti-American North Korea, crossing a border that tens of thousands of desperate North Koreans have crossed in the opposite direction, at great risk. Whatever their reasons, Americans detained in North Korea, including the three currently there, are major complications for Washington, which must decide between letting a U.S. citizen languish and providing Pyongyang with a huge propaganda victory by sending a senior U.S. envoy to negotiate a release.

FILE - In this Sunday Nov. 5, 2006 file photo, Palestinian Islamic Jihad masked gunmen hold up their guns as they display one of two men whom they alleged were Palestinian collaborators for Israel in Gaza City. Hamas views collaborators in Gaza as a serious threat, holding them responsible for the assassination by Israel over the years of dozens of its top political leaders and military commanders. Israel, on the other hand, has historically relied on collaborators in its war against Palestinian militants and Palestinian activism in general, using methods that vary from entrapment and blackmail to cash and perks.
