Most of the papers have changed their later additions to incorporate the events in Pakistan last night.

The Bloody homecoming says the Independent

Benazir Bhutto's triumphant homecoming to Pakistan turned to deadly carnage last night when two car bombs ripped through crowds surrounding the former prime minister's truck as it made its way through Karachi, killing at least 120 people and wounding hundreds more.
Ms Bhutto, who had returned after eight years of exile, escaped unharmed but there was no doubt she was the target of a carefully planned assassination attempt. A small explosion was followed by a huge blast just feet from the front of her vehicle, shattering its windows and setting a police escort on fire. Four bullets were also fired at the convoy, reports said.

Twin bombs strike at Bhutto's parade say the Telegraph

Intelligence reports had suggested at least three jihadi groups linked to al-Qa'eda and the Taliban were plotting suicide attacks. But Ms Bhutto's husband blamed an unnamed Pakistani intelligence agency for the assassination attempt.
"We blame one intelligence agency and we demand action against it... it is not done by militants, it is done by that intelligence agency," Ms Bhutto's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, told private ARY ONE television.

Al Qaeda bombers kill 26 says the Sun

A WOMAN who survived the al-Qaeda bombs that killed 126 told last night of her terror.
Christina Lamb was showered with blood as she stood feet away from Benazir Bhutto.
Christina — Mrs Bhutto’s biographer who was on the ex-PM’s bus, — said: “It wasn’t mine. It was somebody else’s. Everyone was screaming.” She added: “Luckily, the bus had a bullet-proof compartment and Benazir was in there. It was a very close call. I’m burned but not badly.”

Prior to the explosions,the papers had been reporting the triumphant homecoming,the front page of the Guardian calling it

an emotional homecoming

Benazir Bhutto had arrived full of hope. "It's good to be home," she said. "A dream come true." She hesitated on the top step, a flicker of nerves flashing across her face. Behind her was the plane from Dubai, the desert metropolis where she has spent much of the past eight years, battling to retain relevancy and waiting for this moment. Ahead was Pakistan, the fragile, nuclear-armed country she had once run, and hoped to do so again.
Call it a personality cult, feudal politics or genuine democracy, but overwhelming street power is the potent calling card of Ms Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party. It also proved to be a point of vulnerability. A sea of supporters washed up against the fortified bus carrying Ms Bhutto as it crawled through Karachi.

Bhutto takes a ride like no other said the Times

The scenes are incredible. There are cheering crowds thronging the runway and a line of militia-shirted policemen linking arms and struggling to hold them back.
"I was on the flight which brought Benazir Bhutto and 200 of her supporters from around the world back to Pakistan. Her supporters are clearly exciting, waving the red, green and black flags of the Pakistan People's Party across the aisles of the plane.
"The British pilot of the Emirates flight pleaded with passengers to sit down as they climbed on the arms of their seats to get a better view of their champion. He warned them that the rush to the front of the plane risked destablising the aircraft.

GORDON DINES AT THE LAST SUPPER says the Sun

GORDON Brown last night surrendered centuries of British power to Brussels in a “last supper” washed down with fine wine.
The PM has refused to give the British people a say in a referendum on the EU Treaty even though it is 96 per cent the same as the dumped constitution.
He casually tossed away our veto in 61 areas of law-making over a meal of grilled sole and chocolate cake accompanied by fine wines during historic talks in Lisbon, Portugal.

As he arrives in Britain, DNA pioneer breaks his silence on racism row

James Watson, the Nobel laureate who shocked the world with his views on race and intelligence, has defended his position in an exclusive article for The Independent today in which he seeks to justify his theory that there is a genetic basis behind differences in IQ.
Dr Watson, who helped to unravel the structure of DNA more than 50 years ago, apologises for any offence that he caused when he suggested in an interview at the weekend that black Africans were less intelligent than Westerners.
But he restates his position that studying genes may help to understand variations in intelligence. In his interview with a Sunday newspaper, Dr Watson said he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He was quoted as saying his hope is that everyone is equal but that "people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true".

No escape at 30,000ft! Passengers will be allowed to use mobile phones on planes

Phone regulators moved yesterday to allow air passengers to use their own mobiles on British-based airlines.
Ofcom's decision to consult on the issue is likely to see the destruction of yet another sanctuary from the irritating ring tone.
Similar services are already available on aircraft registered elsewhere in the world. However, if the move is cleared licences could be issued to UK airlines as early as next year.
Ofcom believes access to voice calls, text messages and the ability to surf the internet via a laptop or Blackberry would be a valuable inflight service.

Wine on the water as Tesco turns to barges to cut emissions

A faint smell of what might have been Merlot hovered to starboard as the supertug Daisy Doardo pushed a barge bearing 600,000 litres of wine past Liverpool's Pier Head and up the river Mersey yesterday. But not the smallest sip of a decent vintage passed the lips of skipper Graham Calderbank and his crew as they steered the precious cargo at a stately seven knots along a silver watery path lit by the autumn sun. The vessel, with wine tanks concealed in 20ft containers, was heading for a bottling plant 32 miles away at Irlam on the banks of the Manchester ship canal with supplies that would eventually bring cheer to drinkers who buy their favourite New World wine from Tesco.
