About 50 killed in Bangladesh border guard rebellion

February 26, 2009
According to media reports, nearly 50 people were killed when Bangladeshi paramilitary troops mutinied over a pay dispute at their headquarters in Dhaka.

The mutinous soldiers began laying down their arms after accepting an offer of amnesty from the government, but the uprising in the capital on Wednesday underscored the challenges facing the new prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.
