Bangladeshi Peacekeeping troops
The New Age Tuesday quoted a senior official of the Bangladesh Army as saying that a six-member UN team arrived in Dhaka Monday for pre-deployment inspection.

Although Bangladesh is yet to decide how many peace keepers will be sent, "we expect it will be about 1,600, mostly from the army and some from the navy," the official said.

The troops will be sent as soon as the UN Security Council takes a resolution in this regard and once approves, they will be sent in phases, the official said.
