Benazir Bhutto's return to Pakistan greeted with a suicide bomber by Corina Ciubotaru

Benazir Bhutto's return to Pakistan was not greeted with joy by all the country's people. During her procession to the tomb of Pakistan's founder, a series of explosions killed 126 people in the capital Karachi and proved to be the deadliest bombing in the country's history. They did not harm the former Prime Minister who was returning from exile after eight years, as she was lucky enough to have been resting in a protected space of her truck. But she knows she has become a target after adopting pro-U.S. views and attempting to negotiate with Pakistan's leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf, and among her enemies are the Talibans and al-Qaeda. Terrorist groups are the prime suspects in the suicide bombings on Thursday as they work mainly with this type of attack but police are still gathering evidence. Ms Bhutto apparently had been warned by her allies that an attempt would be made to end her life, but she declared once again in front of many supporters that these attacks would not scare her into giving up on the country. Early next year, Pakistan will hold elections that will hopefully acknowledge Musharraf as President and most likely Bhutto as Prime Minister, thereby increasing the state's power in matters like the war between Pakistanis and Islamic rebels such as Talibans. Benazir Bhutto's father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was also Prime Minister before his government was overthrown and he was killed two years later; she is the leader of the Pakistan People's Party, which her father had founded.
