Bhopal

Looks like the Indian government finally decided to submit the paperwork:

The March 17 U.S. Federal Court ruling was in response to a suit filed by some of the victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, when methylisocyanate leaked from a plant run by Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) killing thousands in its wake. The court ruled that the parent company, Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), should clean up the abandoned and heavily contaminated site of the now closed plant. For this to happen, the Madhya Pradesh Government and the Centre had to state that they had no objection. What seemed on the surface to be a straightforward affair, particularly as it did not involve any costs to be borne by either Government, became a protracted affair with three people going on a fast unto death.

I am certain that there's some kind of weird reason why the Indian government would resist submitting this paperwork to the US Courts. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is.

I still want to see if Warren Anderson will be extradited to India.
