DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - A key political alliance announced Wednesday it would boycott this month's general elections in Bangladesh, deepening a political crisis that has crippled the South Asian country for months.
Sheikh Hasina, a former prime minister and leader of a newly formed alliance of 17 parties, alleged that the interim government charged with organizing the poll favors the alliance's opponents.
She said the alliance would pull its candidates out of the race on Wednesday, the deadline to withdraw.
