NEW DELHI: Shaken by Benazir Bhutto's assassination in December 2007, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had approached the U.S. for advice and technical expertise to ensure his own security.
The request was made about seven weeks before the February 2008 general election ordered by President Pervez Musharraf.

Besides the general fears triggered by Benazir's murder, Mr. Sharif had another reason to be worried.
