- Mutinous members of a paramilitary unit in the Bangladesh
capital surrendered their weapons on Thursday as tanks
surrounded their headquarters after a second day of gunfire in a
mutiny that killed about 50 people.  Government officials and
police said the mutiny in Dhaka was under control and urged
members of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) border guards who had
mutinied elsewhere in the country over pay and command issues to
lay down their arms.  Gunfire in the capital gradually subsided
and stopped after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina threatened tough
action in a national broadcast, a day after offering mutineers
an amnesty.  "All the rebel troops have surrendered with their
arms and the process has been completed," Hasina's media
spokesman, Abul Kalam Azad, said of the BDR troops in the
capital.  At least 20 government tanks and 15 armored personnel
carriers ringed the BDR headquarters
