Benazir Bhutto
The Hindustan Times 12/28/98 AP-Karachi ".Pakistani
authorities today stopped former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from going to
Dubai, saying she cannot travel abroad because of ongoing corruption cases
against her. "They (authorities) showed me a written order that I can't go
abroad because there are (corruption) cases against me," Mrs Bhutto told
reporters at the Karachi airport as she wiped her tears with tissue paper. Mrs
Bhutto was going to Dubai to celebrate new year with her three children who are
studying there.."

8/22/98 Karachi ".Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto said on
Friday the United States was within its rights in attacking guerilla camps in
Afghanistan. The former prime minister was speaking to Reuters in an interview
in Karachi while across the city demonstrators held rallies, burning the US

Friday prayers in several cities of the country.."
6/15/98 Islamabad AP ".In letters to US President Bill
Clinton and members of the United Nations Security Council, former Prime
Minister Benazir Bhutto warned today that South Asia was "dangerously close
to war". With India and Pakistan-now proven nuclear powers-regularly
lobbing mortars and firing artillery at each other, Ms Bhutto said the key to
peace is a settlement of the Kashmir dispute. Economic sanctions will only
exacerbate an already volatile situation, she warned. Instead Pakistan's
twice-elected Prime Minister, Ms Bhutto urged ouick intervention by the UN
Security Council, and the United States in particular, to resolve the Kashmir
dispute. In her letter to the Security Council, Ms Bhutto urged the
industrialised nations to "put aside (your) punitive measures- sanctions
will not put the nuclear genie back in the bottle-and assume a pro-active,
constructive and positive role in the worsening South Asian crisis." To US
President Bill Clinton, Ms Bhutto asked that he "chair a peace process on
Kashmir." This process, according to Ms Bhutto, should include China
Russia and Britain. She suggested it be fashioned along the same lines as the
Irish peace talks and subsequent accord.."
