Police in Bangladesh have arrested 450 people in the Muslim-majority nation after attacks against Hindus in some of the worst such unrest for over a decade.
It was reported that at least six people have died, as police have fought to restrain angry mobs.
It would be recalled that the violence started last week Friday when hundreds of Muslims who protested in the southeastern Noakhali district accused Hindus of a blasphemous incident involving the Koran.
