Madagascan army crushes three-day mutiny
Gunshots and explosions rang out as around 400 armed soldiers launched the assault on the army barracks where the 20 or so renegades were holed up.
The dissident soldiers announced Wednesday that all government institutions were suspended and that a military council had taken charge.

“Loyal forces are storming into the camp to neutralise the mutineers,” an officer at the scene told AFP. “The officers (mutineers) have given themselves up. It is some junior soldiers who are firing back.”-AFP
