US welcomes Bangladesh election plan

The United States on Wednesday welcomed plans by Bangladesh's interim leader to hold elections after a student-led uprising toppled long-ruling Sheikh Hasina.

"We welcome steps that have been taken by this interim government of Bangladesh to prepare for elections that ultimately will allow the Bangladeshi people to choose their own government representatives," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters.
