Shots were fired at a car carrying Bangladeshi opposition leader Khaleda Zia when it stopped at a market in Dhaka, her secretary said on Monday, with television footage showing scores of people attacking her convoy.
The attack, a dangerous new twist in the country's deadly political crisis, came as Zia stopped at the busy market while campaigning for a candidate running in mayoral polls due to take place in the capital later this month.
"She survived because it was a bullet-proof car," Zia's private secretary Shimul Biswas, who was with her during the attack, said. "But the car still has bullet marks."
