JAHRESRUECKBLICK 2006 - AUSLAND - BANGLADESCH UNRUHEN: Violent protests continue in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka Saturday, October 28, 2006, after the government said it was delaying transferring power to an interim caretaker administration ahead of elections. At least one person was killed and scores more injured on Saturday as police and protesters clashed when about 10,000 demonstrators tried to hold a banned rally in the city centre. The clashes came a day after at least six people were killed and more than 200 injured in similar violence. K.M. Hasan, a former supreme court chief justice, was due to have been sworn in as caretaker leader on Saturday, taking over from Begum Khaleda Zia, the prime minister, whose five-year mandate ended on Friday.
