Late Thursday night, a Pakistan Air Force plane carrying Bhutto's body left for her home town Sukkur in the southern Sindh province, said PPP leader Senator Safdar Abbasi.

As a tentative program, the slain opposition leader and former prime minister is scheduled to be buried in the ancestral graveyard of the Bhutto family at Gari-Khuda Baksh Friday afternoon, he said.

Bhutto's husband Asif Ali Zardari and three children who earlier arrived from Dubai also accompanied the body.
