Bangladeshi troops find mass grave after mutiny

By South Asia correspondent Sally Sara

The Bangladeshi army has found a grave in Dhaka with the bodies of dozens of officers killed in a mutiny by border guards.

Troops retrieved the bodies of dozens of army officers from a mass grave at the headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles.

The victims were killed by their own soldiers during a rebellion.

The commander of the border guards was among the dead.

Up to 200 mutinous troops have now been arrested and up to 100 officers are still missing.

Distraught relatives gathered outside the barracks in central Dhaka.

The mutiny began on Wednesday during a dispute over pay and conditions.

The soldiers eventually surrendered after a warning from Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
