I can't work with Musharraf, says arrested Bhutto

Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto deepened Pakistan’s political crisis by demanding the resignation of President Pervez Musharraf as Washington prepared to send a top diplomat to urge the general to lift emergency rule.

Bhutto, placed under house arrest yesterday for the second time since her return from exile, said she could no longer work with Musharraf and was working to forge a partnership with Nawaz Sharif, the man overthrown as prime minister in a 1999 coup by the general.
