Bodies of six peacekeepers due in 3-4 days
Staff Correspondent
The bodies of the six UN peacekeepers from Bangladesh killed in a road accident in Ivory Coast on Friday are likely to be flown into the country within three to four days."It may take three to four days more to bring those bodies in Bangladesh after completion of all formalities," said the director of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) yesterday. The time is necessary for post-mortems on the dead, chartering an airplane and formalities relating to compensation for the deceased, he explained. The six Bangladeshi soldiers died and 11 others received severe injuries when a military truck carrying them crashed and veered into a roadside ditch at Tiasali on their way to Abidjan from Yamoussoukro, the capital of the West African state, at around 11:30pm Bangladesh time.
