Bangladesh Army Chief says hoping to swear in new government on Thursday

Bangladesh army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said that a new interim government was likely to be sworn in Thursday evening after Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus returned to the country.

"We are trying our best to hold the oath-taking ceremony tomorrow," the general said in a televised briefing. "We might do it at around 8:00 pm (1400 GMT). Around 400 hundred people will likely be present."
