DHAKA (Reuters) - At least 15 Bangladeshis have been killed and hundreds wounded in all-too familiar political violence, police said on Monday, the second day of a strike led by opposition supporters demanding elections be held under a non-partisan administration.

Four people, including a youth, a truck driver and a ruling party activist, were killed on Monday, police said. The violence began on Friday.
