SINGAPORE, April 3.-Some of the 102 Britons who were evacuated here by air yesterday from East Pakistan told today of the fighting and carnage they had seen.
"Each day I could see fresh groups of bodies piled up on the pavements," said one man who had been an employee of the East Pakistani provincial government. "There were men, women, even babies, with bayonet and gunshot wounds. Some appeared to have been crushed." "The deaths were all at the hands of troops from West Pakistan," he said. "There was fear the bodies would pollute the water supply."
There was shooting "every night, up to the time I left," the Briton declared. "The smell of death is still everywhere, and every night there are fires on the skyline."
