Benazir Bhutto likes to list Osama bin Laden and schemers in Pakistan's shadowy intelligence services among her deadly enemies - yet some of the former premier's most implacable foes are members of her family. As Bhutto launches her political comeback, her greatest asset is the name she inherited from her father, whose tomb she visited this weekend on her first trip to Pakistan's provinces since the deadly suicide attack that greeted her return to the country. But her claim to the legacy of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a giant figure in Pakistani history who was ousted as prime minister and executed by the military three decades ago, remains bitterly contested. "She has disgraced not only the family but also the Bhutto tribe," said Mumtaz Bhutto, Benazir's 73-year-old uncle and the patriarch of the 700,000-strong Bhutto clan. Benazir lost no time in tying the Oct. 18 bombing which marred her homecoming from eight years in exile to that legacy.
