Powersharing could work, says Bhutto

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said today that she believes that a power-sharing deal with President General Pervez Musharraf could work if he ceded sufficient power to the parliament.

While Bhutto would not confirm reports that she had met with Musharraf in Abu Dhabi last month for secret talks on a possible deal, she said that she has been negotiating directly with officials from Musharraf's government.
