Now she can't leave...

Benazir Bhutto banned from leaving Pakistan
Oct 23, 2007 - Pakistan has put former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on the Exit Control List (ECL), banning her from leaving the country, according to Bhutto's spokesman Farhatullah Babar.

Babar said the Pakistan People's Party, which Bhutto heads, had written to the Interior Ministry to remove her name from the ECL. He described the government action as illegal, unconstitutional and against fundamental rights, News Network International reported Tuesday. Local TV channels have said that Bhutto plans to fly to Dubai to visit members of her family in the near future.

Bhutto had filed a report with the police naming three people behind the attack on her procession shortly after midnight Thursday, which left at least 139 people dead and over 500 injured. She also asked the government to seek help from international terrorism experts in the probe, saying she was not satisfied with the investigation so far. The government rejected her demand and said that the local investigators were capable of conducting the inquiry.
