A Bangladeshi woman puts her thumb print to receive a ballot paper before casting her vote at a polling station in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014. Voting has started in Bangladesh for general elections Sunday that threaten to deepen the crisis in the South Asian nation. The opposition and its allies are boycotting the vote, a move that undermines the legitimacy of the election and makes it unlikely that the polls will stem a wave of political violence that killed at least 275 people in 2013.
