Bangladesh cleans up after killer cyclone

CHITTAGONG: Bangladesh began cleaning up on Friday after a killer cyclone wrecked thousands of homes along its coast while breathing a sigh of relief that the damage was not much worse.

Fourteen people are so far known to have died in Bangladesh after Cyclone Mahasen, which has since been downgraded to a tropical depression, lashed southern coastal regions with winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour.
