Description
Since the overthrow of Bangladesh's autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina earlier this month, the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has scented power.
Hours after the student-led uprising sparked the sudden collapse of Hasina's government, BNP leader Khaleda Zia, 79, was released from house arrest for the first time in years.
A caretaker government has been running the country since Hasina's ouster -- but it has to hold new elections eventually, and now that the BNP has emerged from the underground, its members are confident of their prospects. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
