Islamabad, Nov 3: Former Pakistan premier Benazir Bhutto returned back to Karachi tonight, cutting short her visit to Dubai in the wake of the imposition of martial law in the country.

Bhutto's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, confirmed the news to an international news agency, and said, "It's definitely not pleasant news (imposition of emergency)."

On Thursday, Bhutto left for Dubai citing her mother's poor health.

Bhutto was scheduled to arrive back on November 8.

She had survived a suicide attack during her homecoming procession on October 18, as she ended her eight years of self-exile.

Her homecoming was made possible after she made some negotiations with President Pervez Musharraf. (ANI)
