Protesters storm Bangladesh PM's palace

DHAKA — Cheering protesters stormed Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's palace on Monday after she fled, the culmination of more than a month of deadly anti-government protests.

Jubilant-looking crowds waved flags, with some dancing on top of a tank, in the streets of Dhaka on Monday morning before hundreds broke through the gates of Hasina's official residence.
