More on AsiaDHAKA, Bangladesh — More than 1,000 border guards were charged Sunday with murder and arson in an uprising that left at least 148 people dead or missing, most of them army officers, after the government withdrew its promise of amnesty and sought to repair its increasingly tense relations with the military. One officer _ among just 33 known to have survived the bloody siege _ described the mutiny as "like doomsday for me." Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met inside army headquarters Sunday with military officials who were furious that she offered amnesty to the mutinous border guards to persuade them to surrender during the two-day siege.
