<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>LONDON/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said on Saturday talks on a power sharing deal with President Pervez Musharraf had stalled but she would return to Pakistan within weeks even without agreement.</b>

"No understanding has been arrived at," she told a crowded news conference in London about her negotiations with Musharraf that would see him quit as army chief and stand for re-election as president, and Bhutto return to become prime minister.

<b>She said talks between her party and envoys sent by Musharraf had been 80 percent successful "but matters appear to have stalled following resistance by members of the ruling party."</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
