A defiant Benazir Bhutto on Friday strongly condemned the bomb attacks on her homecoming parade in Karachi that killed 139 people, saying the victims made the 'ultimate sacrifice' for democracy. Giving a clean chit to the Musharraf government for the attack, Bhutto said that she exactly knew who her enemies were. "It is not the government, but some individuals in the government who are behind this... I know in my heart exactly who my enemies are," she told a press conference in her first comments since the attack. Bhutto said that she has written a letter to Musharraf and named three suspects who she thinks are behind the Karachi blasts. "The next attack is going to be near my house in Clifton or in Larkana. Commandos will be sent in the garb of supporters of a political party and the attack will be blamed on that party," she said adding that the real perpetrators were just using political parties as a 'red herring'
Bhutto said that the carnage was not an attack on an individual but an attempt to muffle democracy. "It was an attack on what I represent. It was an attack on democracy," Bhutto told mediamen. "The Pakistan People's Party strongly condemns the attacks on its peaceful procession last night."
"Our hopes, prayers and sympathy lie with those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of democracy. Their sacrifice will not go in vain," she added, calling for an urgent official inquiry into the incident.
