Benazir takes break amist differences with Nawaz's party

New Delhi: Former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto left for Dubai early on Friday to see her children, taking time out from campaigning for January 8 elections.

Benazir had planned to earlier but the trip was delayed in a mix-up over her passport, spokesman Farhatullah Babar said.

On Thursday night, she was barred from leaving after airport authorities found some "technical problems" with her passport. She's expected to stay in Dubai for around four days.

Her decision to travel out of the country came amid differences between her party, the PPP and Nawaz Sharif's PML-N on framing the charter of demands, especially on the issue of reinstating Supreme Court judges.
