QUETTA, Dec 14: Foolproof security arrangements have been made for Pakistan People’s Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto who is arriving here on Saturday on a two-day visit.

A senior police official told Dawn that only a limited number of vehicles would be allowed to accompany the procession of Ms Benazir Bhutto in view of the security threat.

He said she was likely to be brought in a bullet-proof vehicle from the airport to the Hockey Ground where she would address a public meeting.

Hundreds of policemen have been deployed in and around the venue of the meeting and the airport.

After the public meeting, Ms Bhutto would address a news conference.
