The presidential spokesman was not available Sunday for comment on Sharifs return. However, the pro-Musharraf ruling party, which broke away from Sharifs group after the coup, is already wooing him as a potential ally. Ruling party spokesman Tariq Azim urged the Sharif camp to "forget the old egos and start with a clean slate." The scene at Lahore airport was eerily reminiscent of the early jubilation that greeted Bhutto when she came back to her home city of Karachi in October, but the number of supporters was far lower. Bhutto's return was greeted by a massive suicide bomb which killed about 150 people in a procession through the streets. In a reminder that Pakistan remains under emergency rule, security forces had rounded up some Sharif activists and attempted to seal off the airport. But the supporters who found their way through tight security swarmed into the terminal building waving the green flag of his party and shouting slogans including "Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif!" and "Go, Musharraf, go!" Police lifted batons to drive them back from the arrival area, but had no space to swing them amid the dancing, jubilant crowds.

Both Bhutto and Sharif have been seeking to return to power after the parliamentary elections. But the ballot, which the West hopes will produce a moderate government able to stand up to Islamic extremism, has been thrown into confusion by Musharraf's seizure of emergency powers. Major opposition parties—including Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party—have been lining up to take part in the elections with preliminary steps such as filing nomination papers. Bhutto, a more liberal and openly pro-U.S. politician than Sharif, filed her papers to contest the election on Sunday in Karachi. She says her party could still pull out if Musharraf doesn't ensure the vote is fair. Sharif indicated his party, the Pakistan Muslim League-N, would demand a restoration of constitutional rule before it took part in the vote, but that any decision on whether to boycott would be taken in conjunction with other groups. Sharif has been angling for a return ever since Musharraf overthrew him and gave the jailed politician a choice: accept 10 years of exile or face life in prison on charges including hijacking and terrorism. The charges stemmed from Sharifs desperate attempts to turn away a packed civilian plane carrying Musharraf—then the army chief— ack from a trip abroad. Malibu residents survey the ashes MAUBU, Calif.—Residents began making their way back along winding canyon roads Sunday to see whether their homes survived a wind-driven wildfire a day earlier that scorched thousands of acres of hillside and 53 houses. Several homes along a road near the source of the blaze had been reduced to blackened wrecks, while many others were virtually unscathed. In all, Saturday's fast-moving wildfire destroyed 53 homes and 27 outbuildings, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said. Thirty-four other homes were damaged, and as many as 14,000 people fled the blaze, which was whipped up by hot, dry Santa Ana winds. Throughout the day Sunday, the weather worked in firefighters' favor. A cool breeze in from the Pacific Ocean kept temperatures low and moisture levels high. Even controlled fires, ignited late Sunday to clear remaining scrub, bumed lazily. The fire, which scorched 4,720 acres—more than 7 square miles—since early Saturday, was about 70 percent contained, with full containment expected Monday, said Ron Haralson, Los Angeles County fire inspector. Investigators determined that the fire, which broke out along a dirt road off a paved highway, was caused by humans but had not determined whether it was started intentionally, said county Fire Inspector Rick Dominguez. ' Sheriffs deputies and bloodhounds headed into the area, which residents said is a popular spot for outdoor partying by young people. Several locals were convinced the fire was started by late-night revelers who may have lighted a campfire. When the winds began whipping up again overnight Saturday, the seaside enclave was still recovering from a fire last month that destroyed six homes, two businesses and a church. Another resident who lost his home was Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, property records showed.

In Brief Syrian to attend peace summit WASHINGTON—Arab holdout Syria agreed Sunday to attend a Mideast peace conference called by President Bush to restart talks to resolve the six-decade conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, yet expectations for the summit remained low. The two sides came to Washington without agreeing on basic terms for their negotiations. Bush invited the Israeli and Palestinian leaders to separate meetings at the White House on Monday to prepare for the centerpiece of his Mideast gathering—an all-day session Tuesday in Annapolis, Md. It is to be the only time that Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meet together, and their three-way handshake is expected to be the conference's symbolic high point. Bush closes the U.S. effort with a second set of separate Israeli and Palestinian meetings at the White House on Wednesday. "The broad attendance at this conference by regional states and other key international participants demonstrates the international resolve to seize this important opportunity to advance freedom and peace in the Middle East," Bush said in a statement Sunday. 8 fans die in stadium collapse SAO PAULO, Brazil—A section of stands at a soccer stadium in northeastern Brazil gave way Sunday as fans cheered at the end of a game, killing eight people, police said. At least 60,000 were in the stadium for the game at the Fonte Nova stadium in the coastal city of Salvador when the victims fell several stories to the ground after a hole several yards wide opened in the concrete floor of a section of the highest bleachers. At least nine people fell through and eight of them died, said Maj. Edmilson Tavares of the city's federal police. He said he could not immediately confirm how many people were hurt. The accident happened as fans of the Bahia club went into a wild celebration, storming the field when their team managed a 0-0 tie with Vila Nova which secured Bahia a place in the nation's second division. State senator dies from cancer Utah Sen. Ed Mayne has died after a nine-month battle with cancer. Mayne, D-West Valley City, died Sunday at his home. He was 62. Mayne was the assistant minority whip in the Senate, where he had served since 1995 after being a union lobbyist at the Capitol. Mayne was still the president of the Utah chapter of the AFL-CIO. "He was a constant fighter for the disadvantaged," Senate Minority Leader Mike Dmitrich said. "He always looked out for the working person—union or non-union." Dmitrich remembered Mayne as a very hard, tough lobbyist who wasn't afraid to push hard for his cause. As a lawmaker, Dmitrich said Mayne was just as determined, but always had the respect of his opponents. "He was probably the most compassionate, loving person you would ever know," Dmitrich said.
