But scores of officers of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) remain missing, including its chief, after junior ranks mutinied and shooting erupted at its headquarters in Dhaka on Wednesday, officials and local media said. The revolt ended late on Thursday after the rebels handed over their weapons following an amnesty offer and an appeal by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to return to the barracks. Government tanks, armored personnel carriers and troops ringed the BDR headquarters complex in the first major test of Hasina's government since it took office last month after two years of emergency rule by an army-backed administration. "The death toll from the mutiny has reached 18 after police recovered seven decomposed bodies from the BDR complex overnight," police officer Abdur Rahman told reporters. Bangladesh's privately-run Chanel-I television, quoting security officials, said 168 army officers were present at a meeting at the BDR headquarters to resolve the row over wages when the shooting started. "11 of them have been found dead, 22 have been rescued alive but the others including the paramilitary chief, Major-General Sakil Ahmed, are missing," Channel-I said. Later seven more bodies were found, taking the confirmed death count to 18. A government minister said on Wednesday that at least 50 people had been killed when BDR troops fought each other in an internal row over their demand for higher wages. "The rebels killed dozens of officers, threw their bodies in drains and canals, hid some in the bushes and may have buried some others," survivor Major Jahid, told the television station. One army officer told a private TV station that he saw the paramilitary chief Sakil being shot at. RESENTMENT The BDR's officers are traditionally seconded from regular army units, an arrangement resented by some BDR troops, who want their own officer corps. A pay dispute made matters worse. Hasina has promised to meet their demands over time. Though short-lived, the mutiny underscored the challenges facing Hasina, who took office last month after winning parliamentary elections in December that returned Bangladesh to democracy after nearly two years of army-backed emergency rule. "Go back to your barracks," she said in her broadcast. "Give democracy and the economy a chance to develop." Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
