Bangladesh Islamists call to arm Rohingya

Thousands of Islamist hardliners marched in Bangladesh's port city of Chittagong Friday calling for the government to arm Rohingya Muslim refugees fleeing a crackdown in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state. More than half a million Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh since attacks by militants belonging to the Muslim minority on Myanmar police posts sparked brutal reprisals by security forces. The refugees accuse Myanmar's army -- flanked by mobs of ethnic Rakhine -- of slaughtering them and burning their villages in a campaign which the United Nations says amounts to "ethnic cleansing".
