Thirteen killed in Bangladesh protests over job quotas

Among those who died on Thursday are a bus driver who was brought to a hospital with a bullet wound to his chest, a rickshaw-puller and three students, officials said.

Thirteen people were killed as thousands of students armed with sticks and rocks clashed with armed police in Dhaka on Thursday, the worst day of violence so far in protests in Bangladesh against a policy that sets quotas for the allocation of government jobs.
