Gunbattle erupts in Bangladesh security force HQ: police
A fierce gun battle broke out Wednesday inside the headquarters of Bangladesh's border security force in the capital Dhaka, police said. The private Bangladeshi news channel ETV reported several injuries. "There has been a huge exchange of gunfire at BDR (Bangladesh Rifles) headquarters complex this morning. We have heard mortar fire," local police chief Nabojit Khisa said. "The gunfire is still going on. We are not allowed to enter," he added, declining to comment on reports of a mutiny within the force. Smoke could be seen coming from the complex, with security forces sealing the area off. Official sources told AFP that the eruption of the gun battle coincided with a meeting of senior Bangladesh Rifles officers and that the battle appeared to be the result of a problem within the security force and was not a coup d'etat.
