...stronghold of opposition leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and is home to plenty of Bhutto supporters as well. In a place that's so heavily anti-Musharraf, innuendo seems to feed on itself. On the city's main street, lined with policemen holding batons and wearing anti-riot gear, two teenagers out for a walk say they have also heard about a possible government connection to the attack but cannot offer any evidence to back up the claims. "My mother told me not to talk about this topic on my mobile or telephone because the government may tape...
...lies somewhere between those two extremes. Zoé's Ark staff were condemned at first as buffoons who sought to play God by scorning international law.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tried - and, as expected, failed - to get past a line of some 300 riot policemen in Islamabad on Thursday. In what may be a pre-election publicity stunt, Sharif had been trying to visit the deposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, who has been held under house arrest since President Pervez Musharraf instituted emergency rule on November 3. While hundreds of supporters chanted his name, police turned Sharif back at the concrete and barbed wire barricades.
