Bangladesh is hunting for 1,000 fugitive soldiers accused of killing their senior officers in a mutiny that left 150 people dead or missing and raised fears for the new civilian government.
The bloodshed presented Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina with a major crisis less than two months after she won power.
Her election ended two years of army rule in the impoverished south Asian country.
Tens of thousands gathered in the capital Dhaka for the state funeral of 50 of the victims, including the senior officer of the force whose rank-and-file troops staged the revolt.
The soldiers fled the Dhaka headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles on Thursday, apparently dressed as civilians, after a 33-hour mutiny which turned the capital into a battle zone.
They left behind at least 78 bodies, many mutilated by bayonets, dumped in mass graves or thrown down drains. Seven senior army officers are still missing.
The revolt reportedly stemmed from a dispute over pay and conditions in the Bangladesh Rifles force, which is tasked with guarding Bangladesh's long and porous border with India.
The prime minister has ordered the military to join the search for those behind the mutiny, and has also sought help from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, the UN and British police.
She said arrest warrants had been issued for 1,000 soldiers, as well as accomplices who she said organised cars and boats to help them flee.
The Brussels-based International Crisis Group said that Prime Minister Hasina was moving to pre-empt any attempt at a military takeover.
