9:29am Friday 20th January 2012 in World news
The Bangladesh military says it has foiled a bid by mutinous officers to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Brigadier General Muhammad Masud Razzaq told reporters that the military has specific evidence that a group of up to 16 hardline Islamic military officers - including at least two retired officers - were planning to remove the democratically elected government in a coup.
He calls their plans a "heinous conspiracy".
He said two retired officers have been arrested.
