Afghan warlords in amnesty rally

The upper house of parliament has passed the controversial bill but it has yet to be signed by the president. -- Tens of thousands of people were killed and tortured during decades of war and unrest in the country. -- If the bill were to become law, those who led fighting first as leaders of the anti-Soviet resistance during the 1980s and then during the 1992-1996 civil war would be immune to prosecution for war crimes. -- International rights groups and the UN have voiced opposition to the proposal, saying justice must be done.
