#1 At least 10 Bangladeshi army tanks have taken up positions near a barracks held by mutinous border guards in the capital Dhaka.

This follows a threat by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take tough action against the mutineers unless they surrendered immediately.

"Do not force me to take tough actions or push my patience," she said.

#3 Looks like it's over...

DHAKA, Bangladesh The Bangladeshi government says all the mutinous border guards who seized control of their headquarters have surrendered after a two-day revolt.

The guards agreed to surrender after the government promised them an amnesty and agreed to look into their demands for better conditions.

But the process stalled and was only completed Thursday after the government sent tanks into the capital in a show of force.

Government negotiator Mahbub Ara Gini says "all the mutinous border guards have surrendered their weapons."
