Madagascar Army Quells Mutiny, Kills Rebel Leader -- Reuters(Reuters) - Madagascar's army stormed a military barracks near the island country's main airport in order to quell a mutiny, killing the corporal who led it and arresting a number of mutineers, the army said on Sunday.
The soldiers had seized the barracks located 10km (6.2 miles) from the capital Antananarivo at dawn 16 hours earlier. It was unclear what their grievances or demands were, but the drama escalated dramatically when they shot and fatally wounded an officer who had been sent in to negotiate with them.
"The situation is under control," General Raphael Ramasy, the defense minister's chief-of-staff told the public television station TVN.
