Bhutto defies new death threat

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said today she would defy a new death threat to start campaigning in cities across the country.

Five days after the suicide bombing that killed at least 136 people at her homecoming procession in Karachi, Mrs Bhutto said her lawyer received a letter from an unidentified “friend of al-Qaida” threatening to slaughter her “like a goat.”
