Giving a chilling account of the bloody BDR mutiny,Bangladeshi Army officers have revealed that about 20-25 soldiers instigated others to massacre their superiors,one of whom pretended to be dead by smearing blood of a slain colleague on his face to dodge the killers. Minutes after the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) soldiers went on a killing spree on Wednesday morning,an officer cheated almost certain death by covering his face with the blood oozing out of an unfortunate colleague's body. "Mutineers spotted me and Major Maksud inside the washroom of the hall (in the BDR headquarters) where we were hiding," Major Monir was quoted as saying by 'The Daily Star' newspaper. He said the BDR soldiers started firing at them from outside the washroom and Maksud was hit several times. "As blood gushing out of Maksud sir's body flooded the floor,I took it in my hands,stained my face with it and pretended dead," Monir said. He said he had cut his forehead with a piece of shattered glass in his desperate bid to make them believe that he was dead. But,he said,the blood coming out of his forehead was not enough,forcing him to take the blood of Major Maksud.
