Sheik Hasina Wajed, Prime  Minister of Bangladesh<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iTGXYFIkfkA/TO0ceoTjU9I/AAAAAAAAdpg/4Ct3nvBaeOA/s1600/05+Sheik-Hasina-Wajed.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Hasina, the 62-year-old leader of the left-of-center Awami League, has a  history of surviving. During a 1975 coup d’état, assassins killed 17  members of her family — including her son, three brothers, mother and  father, former Prime Minister Sheik Mujibur Rahman. Hasina, then 28,  happened to be abroad at the time. She later survived a grenade attack  that killed more than 20 people, dodging the bullets that sprayed her  car as she fled. Hasina was first elected Prime Minister in 1996. But in  2001, Transparency International named Bangladesh as the most corrupt  country in the world, and Hasina was ousted in a landslide. That wasn’t  the end of her, though. In January 2009, the Awami League won 230 of 299  parliamentary seats, and the consummate survivor found herself Prime  Minister — again.</blockquote>
