Various of Bhutto supporters cheering Bhutto in her car STORYLINE: Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto visited bomb blast victims on Sunday in her first public outing since a suicide attack killed at least 136 people and wrecked her jubilant return to Pakistan from exile. Bhutto spent about 15 minutes at Karachi's Jinnah Hospital. She visited survivors and distributed money to them, vowing to fight for the rights of Pakistanis, according to Saimi Jamali, a senior doctor at the hospital. Hundreds of supporters chanted her name as she arrived at a Pakistan People's Party stronghold in the Karachi district of Lyari. Sunday was proclaimed a national day of mourning for victims of the attack late on Thursday, one of the bloodiest in Pakistan's turbulent history. Morgue officials said 75 of the bodies have been buried, while another 29 remained unclaimed. Another 15 were so badly disfigured in the blast that they were unidentifiable, according to an official at Karachi's main mortuary. Police continued to question three men in the blasts. The men were linked to a vehicle that police believe was used by one of the attackers, who threw a grenade at Bhutto's convoy, a senior investigator said. The three were detained late on Saturday in the southern Punjab province, a reputed hot-bed of militancy. Bhutto, who served twice as prime minister and is Pakistan's main opposition leader, left in 1999 to avoid arrest in corruption cases brought against her by the then-government of Nawaz Sharif, ousted by current President General Pervez Musharraf in October 1999. She had discussed power-sharing with Musharraf and returned from self-imposed exile to pursue the idea. The bombing turned that jubilant homecoming parade into a scene of carnage. More than 200 were wounded in the attack. Bhutto blamed al-Qaida and Taliban militants for the assassination attempt but also hinted that government or military officials could have been involved. Bhutto has blamed remnants of the regime of former military leader General Zia ul-Haq, who hanged her father in 1979 after deposing him in a coup. Islamic extremists could also be bent on stopping a female political leader from modernising Pakistan. Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said the attack was unlikely to delay January's elections, but that the government would be alert for future attacks.
