In news from India, eight former senior employees of Union Carbide’s
Indian subsidiary have been convicted of "death by negligence" for their
roles in the Bhopal gas disaster that left an estimated 15,000 people
dead more than twenty-five years ago. The former employees face up to
two years in prison. The convictions are the first since the disaster at
