Deposed Pakistan Justice Visits Zardari

Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry was put under house arrest more than four months ago when President Pervez Musharraf purged the courts to avert legal challenges to his disputed re-election.

Chaudhry was freed on Monday after Musharraf's foes took over parliament.

Nazir Dhoki, a spokesman for Bhutto's party, said Chaudhry arrived Thursday evening at the home of Bhutto's widower, Asif Ali Zardari, to "express condolences." Bhutto died in a suicide attack in December.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) A senior U.S. envoy visiting Pakistan says negotiations are not possible with some militants "who want to destroy our way of life."

Deputy U.S. Secretary of State John Negroponte met this week with Pakistan's new leaders, who have suggested dialogue with pro-Taliban forces blamed for escalating violence.

Negroponte said Thursday that he didn't "see how you can talk to these kinds of people."

However, Negroponte said some hardliners can be "persuaded to participate in the democratic political process."
