Several killed in Bhutto blasts | |
(10 minutes later) | |
At least 20 people are reported killed and 60 wounded after two car bombs hit crowds greeting returning Pakistani ex-PM Benazir Bhutto. | |
Mrs Bhutto was being driven in a convoy through crowded streets from Karachi airport to a rally to mark her homecoming after eight years in exile. | |
Mrs Bhutto was not thought to be among the casualties. Two cars are on fire. | |
Hundreds of thousands of people had turned out to greet the former PM, amid a huge security presence. | |
Several Islamist groups including pro-Taleban militants have made threats against Mrs Bhutto. | |
The motorcade is now said to be at a standstill, and police have cordoned off the scene of the blasts. | |
The area around a stage where she was due to give a speech to supporters has been evacuated. | |
Police say the bombings may have been suicide attacks. | |
