Reuters: A former Bangladeshi prime minister surrendered to a court on Tuesday in connection an arrest warrant over a deadly fire bombing attack on a bus. She was granted bail, a prosecutor said.

A court issued a warrant for opposition leader Khaleda Zia on 30 March in connection with the attack on the bus last year as her supporters tried to enforce a transport strike as part of efforts to bring down the government.

Khaleda, 70, surrendered before the court under tight security in the capital, Dhaka.
