VOA常速英语2007年-Pakistan's Bhutto Defies House Arrest Order, At

The former Pakistan prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, has been served with an order placing her under house arrest in Islamabad. But VOA's Barry Newhouse spoke¹ to a member of her political party, who said he is in a car with her outside her house, and they are trying to force their way through the hundreds of police surrounding the area. Here is his report.

"I'm standing² at a police barricade³ about 200 meters from Benazir Bhutto's private residence in Islamabad. We have reports that she's been served with an arrest warrant. I just spoke with a senior party official in a car with her. He says they and about 300 party supporters are trying to force their way through police barricades…but so far have been unsuccessful at doing so."
