Khaleda sets out for exile any time now... |
2007-04-22 |
With around a dozen members of her family and house staff, former prime minister Khaleda Zia was all set to leave the country for Saudi Arabia. That she was going into exile anytime appeared quite obvious after she met her detained son Tarique Rahman early yesterday morning at a place not disclosed officially. A family source told The Daily Star late at night that everybody was waiting as the flight or time of departure was yet to be set. "Madam prefers passenger plane while the authorities want her to take a special flight," it added. None however could confirm exactly when and in which flight she would be leaving. Some sources hinted that the departure would be shortly before or after the dawn today. |

#4 "Madam prefers passenger plane while the authorities want her to take a special flight" Probably on an Iranian airliner. |

#3 She had better be careful... might end up like another famous "Zia". She should ensure that no crate of mangoes is put onboard or Pervez Musharraf is on the passenger list but doesn't turn up. |

#2 "Madam prefers passenger plane while the authorities want her to take a special flight," I think Madam got it figured out. |
