The British government has trained a paramilitary force accused of hundreds of killings in Bangladesh, according to leaked U.S. embassy cables.
The Guardian newspaper said the cables described training for members of the Rapid Action Battalion as being in "investigative interviewing techniques" and "rules of engagement."
One cable notes that U.S. training for the battalion in counterterrorism would be illegal under U.S. law because of human rights violations.
