After a Dhaka University professor asked a woman to remove her veil during his class, Muslim extremists called for his death, posting his personal details online along with tips on how to kill. Today, he remains under constant guard by armed police, stays mostly at home and bars his front door.

Bangladeshi officials gave the first account Saturday of how a "miracle" survivor pulled from a collapsed building managed to emerge alive 17 days after the disaster and hailed her indomitable spirit.
