Very sad.
Will this turn her into a martyr and strengthen her attempts to unify Pakistan, or is she simply another dead politician, and a woman at that?

Who didn’t see this coming? Isn’t this like the 3rd attempt since she came back? Such a shame.

Okay. One report says she was rushed to surgery and one says she’s safe, this one says she died.
Which is it?

Terrible. I think Musharraf is better for the WoT, but it’s very very bad news nontheless.

Fox just reported that she was shot in the neck and chest while trying to escape, then the gunman blew himself up.

“Musharraf is better for the WoT”
Bhuuto was more likely to let the US assist in countering terrorism than Musharraf.
To: FrogMom
Everything on Fox News is confirming she is indeed, dead.
Coming soon, total bloodbath in Pakistan, and another state of emergency.
Elections will probably be suspended or postponed.
Musharef will probably grab back his Military position as well, considering the present state of affairs.

Is there anyone with a brain who hasn’t figured out that muslims are insane?
