Benazir Bhutto bears the responsibility for the deaths of 139 people in an
attack on her homecoming parade by exposing them to danger for the sake of her
own "personal theatre", her estranged niece said
Newspaper columnist and poet
Fatima Bhutto, the granddaughter of late Pakistani premier Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto,
also said in an interview that her aunt's return from exile would plunge the
country further into turmoil.
"She insisted on this grand
show, she bears a responsibility for these deaths and for these injuries," the
25-year-old said
Fatima Bhutto is the
daughter of former prime minister Benazir's late brother Murtaza, who was killed
by police in Karachi in 1996 amid murky circumstances that led to the collapse
of her second term in government.
"They died for this personal
theatre of hers, they died for this personal show," she said.
