LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto said on Tuesday that the situation in her country could only get worse if what she described as the "dictatorship" of President Pervez Musharraf was allowed to continue.

Speaking in a telephone interview on Britain's Sky News, Bhutto said: "There is a widespread political consensus that General Musharraf must go ... and the situation in the country can only be aggravated if he stays. It's a nuclear-armed country, and the military is over-extended." (Reporting by Kate Kelland. Editing by Tim Castle)
