After midnight last night, two bomb blasts disrupted Benazir Bhutto's triumphant return to Pakistan after eight years in exile. Almost 150 people were killed and hundreds more injured. At a news conference this morning, the former Prime Minister condemned yesterday's bombings as "a dastardly and cowardly attack…on a political leader" that was absolutely against the tenets of Islam. Shahan Mufti reports for the Christian Science Monitor.
