Only NBC followed up last week's big story, the failed assassination attempt against returning Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto. Today newscaster Ann Curry traveled to Karachi to interview the former Prime Minister. After that double-bombing killed as many as 140 of her supporters, security was so tight that Curry had to pass through five bag searches and three metal detectors to get to her sitdown. "You knew it was going to happen," stated Curry. "I knew an attempt would be made." "So you knew that people would be at risk?" "And the people that came knew that there would be a risk. They put their lives on the line." Curry explained that diplomatic pressure by the United States resulted in Bhutto's return to Pakistan to "join forces" with her rival President Pervez Musharraf. Despite that alliance, Bhutto "believes some members of Pakistan's government actively support extremists--including those who tried to kill her."
