From Times Wire Reports
Sheik Hasina Wajed, a former prime minister of Bangladesh, returned to the country vowing to fight charges of corruption and murder against her.
Wajed flew to Dhaka from London after the South Asian country’s military-backed government reversed a ban on her return.
The former prime minister’s senior aides greeted her with flowers at the international airport, while dozens of supporters gathered outside to cheer her return. Thousands of others, many of them beating drums, lined the streets.
