Nobel Peace Prize-winning Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus was sworn in as head of the country's caretaker government after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and flee the country following violent protests. Yunus, 84, was recommended for the role by student protesters and returned to Dhaka on Thursday morning from Paris, where he was undergoing medical treatment.
