STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

High winds hit states from Fla. to Okla. By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER, Associated Press Writer Thu Oct 18, 6:56 PM ET

PARIS, Mo. - Storms that raked the Plains and Southeast tossed up a mobile home in Missouri early Thursday, killing both people inside, and spawned a tornado in Florida that sent mall shoppers and children at a day-care center running for cover. More than 30 people were injured Wednesday night when high winds blew through an Oktoberfest festival in Tulsa, Okla., collapsing two tents on the crowd.In rural northeastern Missouri, the state Highway Patrol said Kent Ensor and Kristy Secrease had sought refuge in Secrease's mobile home in Monroe County as a tornado approached. Their bodies were found about 400 feet from where the home had been.The mobile home's frame was found three-quarters of a mile away, with debris as far as two miles away.The National Weather Service classified the storm as an F-2 tornado that traveled one mile and had wind speeds up to 135 mph.

Ensor, 44, was a hog farmer from a well-known family, and Secrease, 25, managed Ensor's 11,000-hog operation. They had been dating for about a year, neighbors said.Everybody knows everybody here, said Jim Lovelady. This hurts.Joey Crigler's mobile home down the road from the Ensor farm was spared damage. Despite living in a wide-open area prone to severe weather, Crigler said, he and Ensor didn't worry about their safety.It's just one of those things you kind of laughed about and then go on, he said.
Several twisters hit southwestern Missouri, where a home was destroyed but no injuries were reported.A tornado late Thursday morning in Pensacola, Fla., damaged the city's major shopping mall as violent thunderstorms swept across the western Panhandle.Eddie English Jr., a department store stock manager, said he heard the wind outside the store suddenly speed up and get louder. Then mall security guards entered the store and ordered 200 to 300 employees and shoppers into the basement.Lindsey Lassiter, manager of the mall's Express for Men store, said water poured in from her shop's damaged ceiling. In downtown Pensacola, electricity was out and streets were filled with several inches of water from rain that began around dawn.Escambia County sheriff's spokesman Glenn Austin said the Greater Little Rock Baptist Church's roof was damaged, as was its day-care center. But the children there had been moved to safety before the tornado struck, he said.They heard the warnings, grabbed the kids and followed the drill, he said.Jack Cullen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, confirmed that a tornado touched down shortly before noon.

In Tulsa, more than 7,000 people were at the Oktoberfest festival when the tents collapsed at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Five of those hurt remained hospitalized Thursday, and three were in serious condition with head injuries, concussions and lacerations, said Tina Wells, spokeswoman for the Emergency Medical Services Authority.The storm brought wind gusts ranging from 65 mph to nearly 90 mph, said Steve Piltz, a Weather Service meteorologist. Tulsa County was under a tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning when the storm hit the tents, he said. Less than an hour earlier, the skies had been clear, said Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor.
The wind came up incredibly quick, and I don't think anyone can prepare for those kinds of winds, said Michael Sanders, the promotions chairman for the Oktoberfest event. North of Tulsa, five people were injured and 25 mobile homes and travel trailers were damaged when the storm hit a mobile home park between Oologah and the Washington County line, the Oologah-Talala Emergency Medical Services District reported. None of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening, officials said.

EU leaders endorse reform treaty By CONSTANT BRAND, Associated Press Writer OCT 18,07

LISBON, Portugal - European Union leaders endorsed a reform treaty Friday to replace their failed European constitution and give the 27-nation union a more influential say in world affairs, diplomats said. The new treaty will take effect in 2009 if it passes national parliamentary votes and referendums.With this new treaty, Europe has overcome an impasse that lasted for several years, said Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates, who hosted the EU summit.

Europe has emerged stronger from this summit, stronger to face global issues, stronger to take its role in the world and also to increase confidence in our economy and in our citizens, he told reporters.The pact aims to achieve the same thing as the constitution that collapsed in 2005 when it was rejected in French and Dutch referendums: to expand the union's global influence by translating its economic might into a bigger diplomatic punch.It will do so though quicker decision-making, more majority voting, more powers for the EU and give the bloc more power to act on global issues such as defense, energy security, climate change and migration.Agreement on the treaty came after the EU leaders overcame last-minute reservations on minor points by, notably, Poland and Italy.Italy won an extra European Parliament seat, while Poland held out for a complex voting formula making it tougher for large EU nations to outvote smaller ones.

Basically Poland got what it wanted, Polish President Lech Kaczynski said. The whole operation of the EU Reform Treaty is now crowned with success.While it lacks the constitution's most contentious elements — such as EU flag and anthem — it will give its foreign and security affairs chief a seat on the EU executive Commission with control over the EU's multibillion dollar aid budget and its extensive network of diplomats and civil servants.
There will also be a smaller, more efficient EU executive and an EU president — chosen by the EU leaders for five-year terms — to facilitate consensus and represent the union abroad. In the future an exit clause will make it possible for nations to leave the EU.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he will work hard to explain the benefits of the EU treaty to an often skeptical European public.Our citizens want to see ... what Europe brings them in benefits to their daily lives, he said.Associated Press writers Barry Hatton and Robert Wielaard in Lisbon and Monica Scislowska in Warsaw, Poland, contributed to this report.

EU seals new treaty ending two-year limbo by Leigh Thomas
OCT 18,07

LISBON (AFP) - EU leaders broke more than two years of political deadlock early Friday by approving a new treaty of reforms filling the void left by the bloc's aborted constitution. The European Union's Portuguese presidency said the agreement closed the chapter on a crisis that has gripped the EU since French and Dutch voters rejected the proposed constitution in mid-2005.With this accord Europe has emerged from its institutional crisis, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates told journalists shortly after the deal was clinched at a Lisbon summit.Socrates said that leaders would formally sign what will become the treaty of Lisbon in the Portuguese capital on December 13.The treaty aims to give the first serious update to the EU's decision-making architecture since 10 mostly former communist countries joined in May 2004 followed by Bulgaria and Romania in January this year.In this case we're really talking about a historic agreement and it really gives the European Union a capacity to act in the 21st century, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said.EU leaders sealed the deal after overcoming Polish and Italian gripes about the treaty in last-minute wrangling on the sidelines of the two-day summit which opened Thursday.

Poland had threatened to veto the deal if the treaty does not give authority to the so-called Ioannina mechanism, named after the Greek city where it was agreed upon, which allows a minority of nations to temporarily block EU decisions.But after tough bargaining, President Lech Kaczynski said that Poland got everything it wanted. I'm very happy this business is behind us. Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi obtained an extra seat in the European Parliament in a compromise easing Italian concerns that the country would emerge with fewer lawmakers under the new treaty than EU heavyweights France and Britain.The compromise leaves Italy on a par with Britain and with one seat fewer than France.

Britain also had many reservations about the treaty, but obtained red line opt-outs in key areas at the last EU summit in June.The UK's red lines are secured, said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, attending his first summit since succeeding Tony Blair, the British national interest has been protected.The Polish and Italian leaders were only satisfied after French President Nicolas Sarkozy and veteran EU summiteer, Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, held lengthy tete-a-tetes with them.Treaty talks aside, the summit was abuzz with the announcement in Paris that Sarkozy and his wife Cecilia had divorced.Meanwhile, at least 150,000 people demonstrated near the summit venue calling for the EU leaders to give a bigger place to social issues in the Union.
After signing the treaty in December, member states will have one year to ratify it so that it can come into effect, as planned, on January 1, 2009.EU leaders deem the reform treaty essential because the bloc's rules have not had a serious update since 10 mostly former communist countries joined in May 2004, followed by Bulgaria and Romania in January this year. Like the constitution, the treaty includes plans for a European foreign policy supremo and a more permanent president to replace the current cumbersome and expensive rotating six-month presidency system. It also streamlines decision-making by cutting down the number of EU decisions which would require unanimous support from member states. With the treaty deal clinched the EU heads of state and government will be able to turn their attention on Friday to the other issues on their agenda: global warming and globalisation.

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Stocks close mostly flat on BofA results By JOE BEL BRUNO, AP Business Writer Thu Oct 18, 7:02 PM ET

NEW YORK - Wall Street pared its losses to finish mostly flat Thursday but remained uneasy after disappointing results from Bank of America Corp. provided further evidence that the credit crisis is hurting the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average, which fell as much as 60 points early in the session, rebounded as bargain hunters entered the market, betting Thursday's dismal data could convince the Federal Reserve to lower rates again.Still, investors remained spooked after BofA — considered a bellwether for the banking industry because it has branches across the country — said significant dislocations in the capital markets sent third-quarter profits down 32 percent. Citigroup Inc. and Washington Mutual Inc. reported similar results in recent days.

Banks and brokerages have been hurt during the third quarter in the fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis. As people with weak credit defaulted on loans at an alarming rate, it triggered a global aversion for risk that led the credit markets to freeze up.
Treasurys rallied and the dollar fell to a new low against the euro after the Labor Department said the number of newly laid off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits shot up last week by the largest amount since February. The report was far worse than economists expected, and signaled that the labor market could be starting to weaken from a downturn in housing and the global credit turmoil.There are so many factors going on right now between the dollar getting crushed, oil moving higher, and news out of the banking sector, said Greg Church, chief investment officer of Church Capital Management. Yet, it is amazing to me that this market continues to lift its head. The market came back somewhat because there's that whole camp that thinks any bad news is good news that the Fed will lower rates.

The Dow fell 3.58, or 0.03 percent, to 13,888.96.

Broader indexes finished mixed. The Standard & Poor's index fell 1.16, or 0.08 percent, to 1,540.08, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index added 6.64, or 0.24 percent, to 2,799.31. Tech shares have outperformed this week as some investors lately regard profits at some of these companies to better withstand an economic slowdown.The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to prices, fell to 4.50 percent from 4.55 percent late Wednesday. Treasury prices rose again after rallying sharply Wednesday amid growing signs of trouble in the housing sector.Also, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported that its October manufacturing index came in weaker than expected. The report showed a slowdown in growth for the regional economy, and some inflationary pressures.Sluggish economic data could help motivate the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at its Oct. 30-31 meeting. Central bankers cut rates by a half point at their September meeting.Oil prices continued their advance amid further tensions between Turkey and Kurdish rebels in Northern Iraq. Light, sweet crude rose $2.07 to settle at a record $89.47 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Disappointing results from BofA made some investors wary about quarterly results yet to arrive.Washington Mutual and Bank of America announcements reminds people that there is a housing issue out there, and that its tough to analyze on how bad it can get before it gets better, said John C. Forelli, portfolio manager for Independence Investment. What we need is some confidence that other parts of the economy are reaccelerating as a result of the rate cuts.

Technology could be one bright for uneasy investors Friday. After Thursday's closing bell, Google Inc. posted a 46 percent jump in its third-quarter profit, topping the big expectations that have elevated the Internet search leader's stock price by more $100 during the past month. Google, which ended the regular session up $6.14 at $639.62, rose in heavy after-hours trading.About 60 members of the Standard & Poor's 500 index have reported quarterly results so far this week. Most of the attention has been on the nation's biggest banks, which reported mostly disappointing results on write-downs from leveraged loans, mortgages, and consumer credit.

Bank of America fell $1.18, or 2.4 percent, to $48.85.

Washington Mutual tumbled $2.55, or 7.7 percent, to $30.52 after it reported quarterly profit plunged 72 percent. The stock hit a 52-week low of $30; its previous low was $31.27. E-Trade Financial Corp. late Wednesday reported an unexpected loss because of its exposure to credit markets. The discount brokerage's shares tumbled $1, or 8 percent, to $11.47. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies edged up 0.14, or 0.02 percent, to 825.03. Declining issues led advancers by a thin margin on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.13 billion, shares compared with 3.50 billion traded Wednesday. Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed up 0.89 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.02 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 0.80 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 0.89 percent. On the Net:

Palestinians: no crisis in Israel talks By JOSEF FEDERMAN and STEVEN GUTKIN, Associated Press Writer OCT 18,07

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian negotiators on Thursday dismissed claims that momentum for peace has stalled, saying Israel and the Palestinians still have their sights set on framing a shared vision of peace. There is no crisis at all, said Ahmed Qureia, the lead negotiator, playing down an accusation from his own president that Israel has been undermining preparations for an upcoming U.S.-brokered peace summit.Qureia spoke after U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wrapped up a four-day visit to the region meant to lay the groundwork for the conference. The U.S. hopes the gathering, expected to take place in November or December, will launch formal peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.Throughout Rice's visit, Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas, accused Israel of being intransigent and damaging the pre-summit atmosphere.But Thursday, Qureia said he remained hopeful a deal would be reached, though he acknowledged much work lay ahead.We are still preparing for intensified negotiations that will take place before the conference in order to reach a joint document, he told The Associated Press.

The Palestinians want to come to the meeting with a detailed joint statement on what peace talks are to produce, complete with timetable for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israel, seeking greater flexibility, wants a broad statement low on specific commitments.Qureia met with the head of the Israeli team, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, on Thursday, Palestinian officials said, adding that the teams would meet Friday.In another interview with the AP, Palestinian negotiator Saadi el-Krunz agreed there was no crisis yet, saying he was hopeful — but not sure — the sides can agree on the wording of the document in time for the conference.El-Krunz said the teams have met twice so far, and plan to meet about three times a week. He described the meetings as friendly, but said very little progress has been made.He said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Abbas have a very strong relationship, but results matter most.

El-Krunz said the document must recognize minimum Palestinian demands: Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states, a Palestinian state whose size is equivalent to the land mass captured by Israel in 1967, and a fair solution for refugees.In possible concessions, he said the Palestinians would be willing to allow Israel to keep some Jewish settlements in the West Bank in return for land in what is now Israel, and in an unusual admission, acknowledged the Palestinians will have to ease their demand for the return of millions of refugees and their descendants to Israel, saying in the end only some will return.He said if the sides agree on the document, he expects Arab countries to rally behind it and attend the conference. I don't think the Arabs will say no if they find us (the Palestinians) satisfiedHe denied claims by some Palestinian officials that Rice was pressuring the Palestinians to ease their demands in line with Israeli wishes. Rice is trying to be fair ... I want to believe that the Americans are sincere.Israeli government spokesman David Baker called the talks a work in progress.We are aware of the challenges and difficulties ahead of us, and we are working to overcome them, he said.Associated Press correspondents Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah and Amy Teibel in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Olmert tells Putin of Iran concerns By MANSUR MIROVALEV, Associated Press Writer Thu Oct 18, 5:33 PM ET

MOSCOW - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday to support new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear activities and urged Russia not to sell arms to Iran or Syria. Olmert's brief, abruptly announced visit came days after Putin traveled to Iran and met with its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has publicly called for Israel's demise. During the trip, Putin vowed to support Iran's pursuit of nuclear energy and warned outside forces — an apparent reference to the U.S. — against attacking Tehran.In a three-hour meeting with Putin, Olmert expressed his opinion that effective sanctions by all the international community would have the potential to stop Iran pursuing the nuclear path, said Miri Eisin, the Israeli prime minister's spokeswoman.Russia has resisted further U.N. sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment and other activities that Israel and the U.S. say are aimed at developing nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for energy production alone.Eisen said Olmert's visit was scheduled several days ago, but it was announced only after Putin returned from Iran.As he and Olmert sat down for talks, Putin acknowledged the Israeli leader's dismay over Iran's nuclear program and promised to discuss his meetings in Tehran.

We know how concerned you are about the situation surrounding the Iranian (nuclear program), said Putin, the first Kremlin leader to visit Iran since 1943. I am ready to share the results of my visit.
Olmert expressed eagerness to hear from you about the results of your trip to Iran and talk about other concerns.The Kremlin later released a brief statement saying that Putin, at Olmert's request, briefed the Israeli leader on the main results of his recent visit to Tehran.Putin sought to assuage both Iran and the West during his trip, a delicate balancing act reflecting his reach for global influence and desire to preserve warm ties with a Middle Eastern ally without angering Washington.By rejecting Iranian pressure to set a firm startup date for a nuclear power plant Russia is building in Iran, Putin signaled that he was using Moscow's levers of influence to nudge Tehran toward cooperation with the international community.But Putin also warned against attacking Iran, a boost to a country that has felt increasingly isolated and fearful of a U.S. attack.He also has asserted that pressuring Iran too hard is counterproductive and stressed that Russia sees no proof Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons.

That stance drew anger in Israel.

Even if Putin says he is not convinced that Iran is developing a nuclear capability for military purposes, everyone knows what its real intentions are, said Israeli President Shimon Peres. He said intelligence services have incontrovertible proof that shows that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons.The substance of Putin's meetings with Ahmadinejad and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was murky. Putin left the world wondering what kind of message he conveyed in private and how the Iranians responded.President Bush said Wednesday he wanted a report directly from Putin about his visit to Iran — and to know whether Putin continues to harbor the same concerns as Washington about Iran's nuclear program. Bush suggested that a nuclear-armed Iran could trigger World War III.

Russia's mantra is that the standoff over Iran's nuclear program can only be solved through diplomacy. By hosting Olmert days after meeting with Iranian leaders, Putin may have been casting himself as an irreplaceable bridge between Iran and its fiercest critics.

He spoke to Ahmadinejad. Now he's speaking to Olmert, he will be in a position to act as a go-between, said Meir Javedanfar, a Tehran-born Middle East analyst. Russia has used its clout as a veto-wielding U.N. Security Council member to water down two sets of sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, which can lead to development of weapons. Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called Wednesday for a new set of sanctions without the type of compromises that have been needed to secure Russian and Chinese support in the past. Although the Iran nuclear standoff was the foremost issue, Olmert also conveyed Israel's concern over the Iranian and Syrian desire to acquire weapons from Russia of types that could change the balance in the area, Eisin said.

Eisin did not give details about Israel's concerns.

The Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot reported that Russia plans to provide Syria with surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft missiles it has never before sold to another country. Russia disputes Israeli claims that Russian arms sold to Syria have been used by Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. Moscow insists its weapons deals with Syria and Iran have complied with international law and have not disrupted the balance of power in the region.

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Israel MPs mobilise against Jerusalem partition talk Thu Oct 18, 4:01 PM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Half of Israel's 120 members of parliament have signed an opposition petition opposing any division of Jerusalem with the Palestinians, the privately owned Channel 10 television said Thursday. Among the signatories to the petition circulated by right-wing Likud party MP Israel Katz are 15 members of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's centrist Kadima party, the television added.
Under Israeli law, any territorial concession on Jerusalem must be approved by an absolute majority of MPs.The prime minister hinted on Monday he would be willing to give up some annexed neighbourhoods of occupied east Jerusalem, such as Shufat refugee camp, al-Sawahra and Walajeh, in a final peace deal with the Palestinians.

Last week, Olmert's close ally, Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon, drew heavy domestic fire after saying that Israel should share sovereignty of Jerusalem with the Palestinians as part of a peace agreement.Israel captured Arab east Jerusalem, including the Old City with its sites holy to Christianity, Islam and Judaism, during the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed it.In 1980, parliament passed a law proclaiming it the reunified and eternal capital of Israel, a claim not recognised by the international community.Olmert's comment came amid intense talks between Israel and the Palestinians aimed at reaching understandings on the outlines of a peace deal ahead of a US-sponsored international meeting planned to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, later this autumn.The issue of Jerusalem -- which the Palestinians demand as the capital of their promised state -- is one of the most sensitive and intractable issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict along with the question of refugees

Blasts near Bhutto kill 126 in Pakistan By MATTHEW PENNINGTON and PAISLEY DODDS, Associated Press Writers OCT 18,07

KARACHI, Pakistan - A suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto killed at least 126 people Thursday night, shattering her celebratory procession through Pakistan's biggest city after eight years in exile. Two explosions went off near a truck carrying Bhutto, but police and officials of her party said she was not injured and was hurried to her house. An Associated Press photo showed a dazed-looking Bhutto being helped away.Officials at six hospitals in Karachi reported 126 dead and 248 wounded. It was believed to be the deadliest bomb attack in Pakistan's history.Bhutto flew home to lead her Pakistan People's Party in January parliamentary elections, drawing cheers from supporters massed in a sea of the party's red, green and black flags. The police chief said 150,000 were in the streets, while other onlookers estimated twice that.The throngs reflected Bhutto's enduring political clout, but she has made enemies of Islamic militants by taking a pro-U.S. line and negotiating a possible political alliance with Pakistan's military ruler, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.An estimated 20,000 security officers had been deployed to protect Bhutto and her cavalcade of motorized rickshaws, colorful buses, cars and motorcycles. Authorities had urged Bhutto to use a helicopter to reduce the risk of attack amid threats from extremists sympathetic to the Taliban and al-Qaida, but she brushed off the concerns.

I am not scared. I am thinking of my mission, she had told reporters on the plane from Dubai. This is a movement for democracy because we are under threat from extremists and militants.Last month, Bhutto told CNN she realized she was a target. Islamic militants, she said, don't believe in women governing nations, so they will try to plot against me, but these are risks that must be taken. I'm prepared to take them.Leaving the airport, Bhutto refused to use a bulletproof glass cubicle that had been built atop the truck taking her to the tomb of Pakistan's founding father, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, to give a speech. She squeezed between other party officials along a railing at the front and rode high above the street.Her procession had been creeping toward the center of Karachi for 10 hours, moving at a snail's pace while dancing and cheering supporters swarmed around the truck, when a small explosion erupted near the front of the vehicle.That was quickly followed by a larger blast just a few feet from the truck, setting an escorting police van on fire and breaking windows in Bhutto's vehicle. Party members on top of the truck scrambled to the ground, one man jumping while others climbed down a ladder or over the side.Christina Lamb, Bhutto's biographer, said the former premier had just gone to a downstairs compartment in the truck for a rest when the blast went off.

She knew she was a target, I was talking to her about it .... she was worried that the lights were going off, the street lights, and that snipers could be on tops of buildings and bridges, Lamb told Sky News. Luckily the bus had a downstairs enclosed compartment for her to go and rest in, and she just happened to be there when it went off, so she wasn't on top in the open like rest of us, so that just saved her.Evidence available at the scene is suggesting it was a suicide bombing ... (that) exploded near police vehicles, destroying the two police vans escorting Benazir Bhutto's truck, police officer Raja Umer Khitab said. He said several policemen died.At the scene of the attack, bodies lay motionless in the street, under a mural reading Long Live Bhutto on the side of the truck.People were shouting for help but there was no one to help them out. It smelled like blood and smoke, said AP photographer B.K. Bangash, who was 150 feet from Bhutto's truck when he heard a small blast just before midnight.The bombs exploded just after the truck crossed a bridge about halfway on the 10-mile journey from the airport to the tomb. Pools of blood, broken glass, tires, motorcycles and bits of clothing littered the ground. Men carried the injured away from burning cars. One bystander came upon a body, checked for signs of life, and moved on. Some of the injured were rushed into a hospital emergency room on stretchers, and others were carried in rescuers' arms. Many of the wounded were covered in blood, and some had their clothes ripped off. Karachi has a history of violent attacks by Islamic militants, but Thursday's was believed to be the deadliest. In 2006, a suicide bombing killed 57 people, including the leaders of a Sunni Muslim group. The United States condemned the violent attack in Pakistan and mourns the loss of innocent life there, said Gordon Johndroe, foreign affairs spokesman for President Bush. Extremists will not be allowed to stop Pakistanis from selecting their representatives through an open and democratic process.Richard Haass, president of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations, said the attack emphasized that one of the fundamental realities of Pakistan today is that the government is not in total control of the country.

He said he did not think Musharraf would declare a state of emergency, saying there were more serious challenges to state authority recently, like the summer battle between militants and police at Islamabad's Red Mosque. The bloodshed marred what had been a jubilant day for Bhutto. She received a rapturous welcome from tens of thousands of supporters, many craning from tree branches and foot bridges to glimpse her return.

The 54-year-old politician wept for joy.

I feel very, very emotional coming back to my country, Bhutto told AP Television News at the airport, after passing under a Quran held over her head as she got off the plane. I dreamt of this day for so many months, and years. I counted the hours, the minutes and the seconds just to see this land, sky and grass. I'm so emotionally overwhelmed, she said, dressed in green with a white head scarf to match Pakistan's national flag. Bhutto had paved her route back to Pakistan through negotiations with Musharraf, a longtime political rival whose rule she has often condemned but whose proclaimed mission to defeat Islamic extremism she shares.
The talks yielded an amnesty covering the corruption charges that made Bhutto leave Pakistan, and could lead to a political alliance uniting moderates in parliamentary elections for a fight against militants allied with al-Qaida and the Taliban. U.S. officials are believed to still favor Musharraf, despite his sagging popularity, over his two main civilian rivals — Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, the elected premier ousted by the general in a 1999 coup and sent back into exile when he tried to return last month. Washington considers Musharraf a source of stability in a nuclear-armed country fighting militants along the border with Afghanistan, an area where Osama bin Laden may be hiding. Still, amid the uncertainty that parliamentary elections will establish a U.S.-friendly government, the United States wants Pakistan to at least keep moving toward democracy — and Bhutto's return could help that goal. Musharraf had urged Bhutto to delay her return because of political uncertainty in Pakistan, including a pending court challenge to his presidential election victory this month. The Supreme Court will rule soon on whether he was eligible to compete in the vote by lawmakers, since he also holds the post of army chief. If he is confirmed for a new five-year presidential term, Musharraf has promised to quit the military and restore civilian rule. Bhutto said there was still a long way to go in political reconciliation with Musharraf, but added that she expected the court to decide in his favor. If the court did not stop his election, it's unlikely to stop the result of that election, she said.

After flying in, Bhutto declared she returned to fight for democracy and to help Pakistan shake off its reputation as a hotbed of international terrorism. That's not the real image of Pakistan. The people that you see outside are the real image of Pakistan. These are the decent and hardworking middle-classes and working classes of Pakistan who want to be empowered so they can build a moderate, modern nation, she said. Bhutto became leader of the Pakistan People's Party more than two decades ago after the military's 1979 execution of its founder, her father Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, a populist prime minister still exalted by many Pakistanis as the finest leader in the country's 60-year history. She served twice as the democratically elected prime minister between 1988 and 1996 — the first female premier in the Muslim world — but both governments fell amid allegations of corruption and misrule. After Musharraf seized power, she was charged with illegally amassing properties and bank accounts overseas while in office and she left Pakistan.
