Massoud Ansari in Karachi:

"One of two suicide bombers involved in Thursday's assassination attempt on General Pervez Musharraf was tipped off in a mobile telephone call that the Pakistani president was about to pass by, security officials believe.

"Witnesses have revealed that the man drove off at speed from a service station after receiving two calls in quick succession, raising suspicions that a mole close to Gen Musharraf is passing information to terrorists.

"Less than 10 minutes after receiving the call, he and another attacker drove two vehicles, each packed with 65lbs of explosive, into police vehicles escorting Gen Musharraf, killing 15 people and injuring 46.
