The demonstrations -- called for mainly by student groups-- started
weeks ago to protest a quota system that reserves up to 30% of
government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in Bangladesh's
war of independence in 1971. Violence erupted Tuesday, with the Daily
Prothom Alo newspaper reporting the death of at least 103 people.
