In the Eye of the Storm
Bhutto reads local newspapers detailing her plight. She returned to Pakistan from exile on October 18, after U.S.-brokered talks between her party and General Musharraf helped pave the way for the dropping of corruption charges against her. But her return was marked by a vicious terror attack that killed more than 200 of her supporters at a welcoming rally. The U.S. had hoped that an understanding between Musharraf and Bhutto could result in a transition to civilian rule. But Musharraf's declaration of a State of Emergency and his sacking of the judiciary made cooperation with the general untenable for Bhutto, leading to her demand that Musharraf step down.
