Some rather disturbing reports coming out of Bangladesh following the attempted revolt by BDR border guards this week.
It seems that wholesale massacres have been going on with slaughter of army officers, civilians, elderly couples and even pregnant women being reported.
The problems started when a group of ‘disgruntled' BDR soldiers [Bangladesh border guards] started their expression of grievances by open-firing on the commissioned army officers.
E Bangladesh reports that
bodies of those massacred are being found inside the BDR headquarters at Pilkhana. Other bodies have been discovered dumped into sewege drains. Many army and BDR officers remain missing and it is feared the death toll may rise to 170.
The violence comes just two months after the country returned to democracy after two years of an army backed interin government.
The violence will bring fears that this short lived democracy may be coming to an end although Reuters is reporting that
Bangladesh's powerful army has reaffirmed its support for the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
