Four militants killed as Bangladesh troops storm hideout
DHAKA -- Bangladesh army commandos have killed four Islamist militants in the northeastern city of Sylhet during a raid on a building where they were holed up amid local residents, a senior army official said on Monday.
The commandos surrounded the five-storey building on Thursday evening but had to evacuate its 78 residents before they could begin their operation on Saturday to flush out the militants, he told reporters.
The militants had a large arms store in the building so the operation was still going on, he added.
