US condoles Bangladeshi peacekeeper's death

Diplomatic Correspondent
The US Embassy in Dhaka expressed deep sympathy for the family and friends of the Bangladeshi Peacekeeping officer Md Asgar Ali who was shot dead by miscreants in Sudan on Sunday morning. The peacekeeper from Bangladesh's Formed Police Unit died when a gang surrounded and fired at the staff in the Mission's community policing centre inside Otash camp in Nyala, South Darfur, an US embassy said yesterday. “US Embassy Dhaka's thoughts are with the family and friends of the fallen Bangladeshi Peace Keeping Officer,” it added.
