Bangladesh's army, reeling from a deadly revolt by border guards who killed dozens of senior officers, reasserted its power early Saturday by promising to bring those behind the deaths to justice. Second in command Lieutenant General M.A. Mubin made a national television address at about 1:00 am (1900 Friday GMT), as some media carried unsourced reports the army was planning to seize control.
"The BDR (Bangladesh Rifles) troops who took part in these barbaric and grisly acts cannot be pardoned and will not be pardoned," he said.
