Musharraf and Bhutto Hold Secret Talks

HeadlineJul 30, 2007

Pakistan’s military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, held secret talks on Friday with opposition leader and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. The pair met for an hour in Abu Dhabi to discuss a possible power-sharing agreement. Bhutto has lived in exile since 1998. Bhutto said Sunday that she would not strike a deal unless Musharraf stepped down as the head of Pakistan’s military. Meanwhile, 15 people died in Pakistan on Friday in a suicide bombing near the Red Mosque in Islamabad.
