Bhutto Assassinated

Very sad !

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has died after a suicide attack, according to media reports.
Geo TV quoted her husband saying the politician had died following a bullet wound in the neck.

Bhutto is helped from her vehicle following the October 18 suicide attack on her motorcade.

1 of 2 The suicide attack left at least 14 dead and 40 injured, Tariq Azim Khan, the country's former information minister, told CNN in a telephone interview.

The attacker is said to have detonated a bomb as he tried to enter the rally where thousands of people gathered to hear Bhutto speak, police said.

Bhutto is said to have been leaving the rally when the attack occurred and was taken to a hospital in an unconcious state, the Geo TV report said.

Earlier, a spokesman for Bhutto told CNN she was safe and taken away from the scene.

Video from the scene of the blast broadcast from Geo TV showed wounded people being loaded into ambulances.

Up to 20 people are dead, the report said.

Earlier, four supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif died when members of another political party opened fire on them at a rally near the Islamabad airport Friday, local police said.

Several other members of Sharif's party were wounded, police added.

While President Pervez Musharraf has promised free and fair parliamentary elections next month, continued instability in the tribal areas and the threat of attack on large crowds has kept people from attending political rallies and dampened the country's political process.

Campaigners from various political groups say fewer people are coming out to show their support due to government crackdowns and the threat of violence.

At least 136 people were killed and more than 387 wounded on October 18 when a suicide bomber attacked Bhutto's slow-moving motorcade. The former PM returned to the country after eight years of self-imposed exile to a massive show of support in the southern port city of Karachi.

Bhutto called it "an attack on democracy" and vowed it would not deter her political campaign.

Today's violence come less than two weeks ahead of January parliamentary elections and as many days after President Pervez Musharraf lifted a six-week-old state of emergency he said was necessary to ensure the country's stability.

Critics said Musharraf's political maneuvering was meant to stifle the country's judiciary as well as curb the media and opposition groups to secure more power

I was about to make a thread about this.

She was assassinated while the suicide bomber made a diversion.
She was brave coming to Pakistan, and knowing her life was in danger.

I wonder how this will affect US relations with Pakistan.

I just heard the news...was it a bomb or someone actually shot her?

Updates?!

The Bomb was a distraction, and when it happened, she was shot in the neck, and later died. I think this a bad move for whoever did this, since the blame almost lies solely on the former dictator, even if he didn't so it, who believe him?

She was very brave, coming back to the country even though the risk was extreme.

They're certainly proving Islam is peaceful, one bombing at a time.

🙄

this is bigger than propaganda agaisnt a religion.

I woke up to this early morning.
I'm absolutely horrified.

Notice I said "they're", as in the extremist, as Bhutto had Muslim support, durr.

Yes, I'm sure you're horrified. Will you light a candle or similar action of rememberence?

[Edit]

First it was a gun shot one in the chest the other in the neck and then the bomb blast

Could the same thing be said about American Catholicism by saying it's proving it's humble by doing one child at a time?

Fanaticism is the problem not Islam. It's fundamentalist sect is the issue. Which is like a single digit percent of the religions' practitioners.

I'm not Islamic but whomever considers Islam as a terrorist religion is asinine thinker.

typo

"is an asinine thinker", i meant.

Are you f*cking stupid or what?
She stole billions from Pakistan's state banks and was willing to give the US free reign in Pakistan to look for Bin Laden.
And she wanted to give many concessions to India.

She and her familiy are sell-outs and im glad she's dead

while ghandi practiced hinduism he respected islam equally, so i doubt he would have wanted to be included in such a point.
