World descends to new level of brutality, says Amnesty

THE world stooped to a new level of brutality last year with increasingly shocking acts of terrorism, Amnesty International said yesterday.

Nearly four years after the September 11 attacks, the promise to make the world a safer place remained “hollow”, the human rights group’s annual report said.

The organisation criticised the US for its failure to observe international law, and said America was setting a bad example for rogue governments across the globe.
