New Delhi : “She came to save Pakistan,” a grieving Asif Zardari said Friday shortly before the funeral ceremony of his wife, Pakistan’s former prime minister Benazir Bhutto who was assassinated in Rawalpindi.

But they killed her, Zardari told CNN-IBN tearfully over the phone.

Benazir claimed Musharraf was behind her, he said.

Zardari had reached Islamabad with his three children – Bilawal, Bakhtawar and Assefa – after midnight Thursday from Dubai. The family accompanied the body of the slain Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader from Rawalpindi to Sukkur airport in a C-130 flight early Friday.

From the airport, the body was taken to Naudero in a helicopter. The last stretch from Naudero to her village Garhi Khuda Baksh took place in an ambulance, arriving there before dawn.
