Bhutto and Musharraf in UAE for pact talks

Exiled former prime minister Benazir Bhutto has travelled to Dubai ahead of expected talks today on a political pact that could keep Pakistan president Gen. Pervez Musharraf in office, officials said.

Musharraf and Bhutto have been discussing a pact that would shore up the US-allied president’s troubled re-election bid while allowing the opposition leader to return to Pakistan and contest parliamentary elections.
