Ethiopia: Mengistu's verdict delayed

A verdict has been postponed until next year in the 12-year genocide trial of Ethiopia's former Marxist ruler. Mengistu Haile Mariam is accused of killing tens of thousands of people after he ousted Emperor Haile Selassie. In a notorious campaign - known as the Red Terror - thousands of suspected opponents were rounded up, executed then tossed onto the streets. The ex-leader fled to Zimbabwe in 1991 and is being tried in absentia but 35 members of his junta are present.
