Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia addresses a rally held by her Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Dhaka in this October 30, 2006 file photo. Khaleda may head into exile in the latest political twist since an army-backed government began a drive against corruption and the country's entrenched power elite. One of Khaleda's detained sons was released early on April 17, 2007 as part of a deal with the government for her family to go abroad, Bangladeshi newspapers reported on Tuesday.
