An investigation into Fiji s attorney general over a murder case that went cold has brought the divisions between the country s ethnic Indian residents and indigenous population back into the spotlight.
Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, one of the South Pacific s most powerful men, is being investigated in connection with fatal twin bomb attacks that happened in the capital of Suva in the aftermath of the 1987 military coup that deposed the first government formed by the Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party (NFP). A passerby died in the first attack and several people were injured.
