Niece to challenge Benazir

London: As the former Pakistan Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, prepares to return home on Thursday after eight years of self-imposed exile, her 25-year old niece is planning to challenge her attempts to return to power, a media report said.

Fatima Bhutto, granddaughter of Zulfiqar Ali, told The Daily Telegraph that her aunt’s return would blight any hopes for Pakistan’s future. “It will be a disaster,” she said. “She has already had two opportunities to run the country.” — PTI
