 LONDON (AP) - Pakistan stepped up security at all of its major airports Sunday after receiving reports about possible terror attacks, a day before the nation's exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was to return home, officials said.
Sharif plans to fly from London to Islamabad on Monday and travel by motorcade to his home to campaign against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who ousted his elected government in a 1999 coup.
"I will go back to Pakistan on Sept. 10 with my brother because my country needs me," he said Saturday at a news conference in London, after a Saudi envoy urged him to respect a 2000 agreement under which he promised to stay away for 10 years.
