BHUTTO AID: The United States provided a steady stream of intelligence to Benazir Bhutto about threats against her before the former Pakistani prime minister was assassinated, U.S. officials said Monday.

THEIR COMMUNICATION: Senior U.S. diplomats had multiple conversations with top members of Bhutto's party to discuss threats on her life and review her security arrangements.

UNHEEDED ADVICE: The officials said Bhutto and her aides were adamant that in the absence of a specific and credible threat there would be few, if any, changes to her campaign schedule ahead of parliamentary elections.
