Up to 125 killed as Bhutto convoy is attacked

BENAZIR BHUTTO’S return to Pakistan yesterday was marred by a bomb attack in which up to 125 people, including 20 police officers, are reported to have been killed.

Two bombs hit crowds greeting Ms Bhutto as she was being driven in a convoy through crowded streets from Karachi Airport.

She was returning after eight years of exile to reclaim a share of power with the country’s US-backed military leader. More than 150,000 jubilant supporters gathered to greet her amid massive security.
