Bangladesh imposes curfew, calls in military as unrest continues
A government curfew was in place Saturday as military forces patrolled cities around Bangladesh after another day of violent clashes between student protestors and police over civil service job quotas left more than 100 protestors dead and nearly 300 police officers injured. This latest bout of violence prompted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to cancel her diplomatic visits to Spain and Brazil, initially scheduled for Sunday.
