NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Benazir Bhutto Friday urged the international community not to believe Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's promise to restore democracy.
The former Pakistan prime minister told ABC's Good Morning America" in a telephone interview, "I appeal to the international community not to be taken in, for him to retire as army chief, for him to hold elections and to restore the constitution."
Bhutto has been under virtual house arrest, preventing her from leading a planned rally Friday in Rawalpindi against Musharraf's declaration of a state of emergency Saturday, the Press Trust of India reported.
"How often can General Musharraf bring the entire country to a standstill to stop a single public meeting?" she asked during the interview with the morning news show aired from New York.
She told "Good Morning America" the Musharraf regime, which the United States considers an ally in its war on terror, fueled extremist actions.
"We believe that the dictatorship fueled extremism," she said. "We believe it does not contain -- it does not contain extremism. And we're very worried that our country is slowly being taken over by pro-Taliban forces."
