I don’t know that we are doing the blame game yet.

We are speculating. Plus he would be someone anyone would suspect.

Frankly I hope it was AQ. But you know who did it might get lost in what is coming.

You’d think they would have bullet proof glass in her vehicle(s).

[Nextrush]

BBC says she is dead. Killed by a presumed suicide attack.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Richard Miniter called her a "corrupt Marxist."

Beautiful lady, though. RIP.

Shot in neck and chest and they the shooter blew himself up.

[SpaceBar]

I agree with the posters above that it was probably engineered by extremists, most likely Al-Qaeda to frame-up Mushariff.

“Elections set for Jan 8th. This is going to be very interesting.”

Was Bhutto running against Mussharaff?

[Joiseydude]

Fox news reporting she was out of her vehicle when the gunman shot her in the neck and chest. He than blew himself up.

[CitizenM]

FOX news just reporting that she was shot in the neck and the chest just as she was entering her vehicle, then the suicide bombing by (evidently) the same person.

Oh, how frightening to think this country has the nuclear bomb!

[ken5050]

The danger here is that if Pakistan appearts to be coming apart..if the extremists may try to take control of the country..then will the Israelis..Indians..or even the US allow them to have control of Pakistan's nuclear weapons..?

I think not

[Doogle]

..rest assured US Predators are circling the Paki/Afgan border

[SE Mom]

I tend to agree...but as with always in this part of the world- we may never know the facts.

Whoever did it- there’s sure to be plenty of chaos in the coming days..

Bloomberg news now says she is dead....

[mware]

She had just spoken with one of her primany opponents ,not Mussharaff,asking him to team up with her to make sure all people could get to the polls.

You can say that again!

Thanks for the info. What are the chances India steps up their military presence along their borders now? The last thing they want is a Pakistani riot driving hordes of people into their country.
