Pakistani authorities detained opposition leader Benazir Bhutto at her home on Friday to stop her from holding her first rally since President Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency rule, a government minister said.

Bhutto later tried to leave her home in the capital and appealed to hundreds of police in riot gear to let her pass.

"Get out of the way. We are your sisters ... We have no hostility towards you," Bhutto, speaking through a megaphone, told police as her bullet-proof car tried to break through their ranks.
