Im not really into politics that much, espiecially Pakistani Politics. But that is what I am. I am a Pakistan at heart, and what has happened today has shook me.
Our first ever female prime minister was killed in a suicide bombing in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. It appears that not only was
she attacked by a bomb, but she was also shot. So this was not just your normal suicide bombing but a assasination attempt. She was just recently allowed back into the country after being cleared of corruption charges and was at a rally promoting her Paksitan Peoples Party for the upcoming election in Pakistan.
This attempt was the second on her life, the first one occured the same day that she landed in Pakistan on her way home from the airport.
She was the daughter of Zulifikar Ali Bhutto. He was also hanged in a controversial court ruling in 1977 where political opponents got him charged with organizing the murder of his opponents father. He was hanged and he had no funeral procession. It was a politically motivated hanging. Benazir Bhutto and her mother were held in a “police camp” until the end of May, after the execution.
In 1980, Benazir Bhutto’s brother Shahnawaz was killed under suspicious circumstances, in France. The killing of another of her brothers, Mir Murtaza, in 1996 (BY THE PAKISTANI POLICE), contributed to destabilizing her second term as Prime Minister.
She may have been a politicain but she was also a mother and a wife. She has left behid three children Bilawal, Bakhtwar, and Aseefa.
She was the aunt of Fatima Bhutto, who is a poet, and a journalists in Pakistan. I am a big fan of her work personally, and support her.
Whatever your political affiliations are, DEATH SUCKS.
Taking someones life is not cool, and it should not have happened. I feel for the family as it seems they are turing into the Kennedeys of South East Asia.

Sorry to hear, but what makes me SICK is all these presidents and priministers hitting out against the assassination and they all have their own death squad to do the same thing.

How dare she try to improve their country.
Being serious I have found countries such as Pakistan, , Saudi Arabia, Sudan, etc, take religion WAY too seriously.
I read a news story about a woman in Saudi Arabia being gang-raped and they actually charged HER for some dumb law about being in the company of a guy who is not related to her.
I don’t mean to be rude but when things like that happen in other countries I start telling people that living in the UK is not as bad as living in these countries.

I have a five dirhams paper currency from the U.A.E. that benezir took from her wallet and autographed for me.I admired her greatly and I wonder if the autographed currency is one of a kind. She knew I collected foreign currency,and was so excited to give me this. I feel fortunate to have met her several times,and she never forgot my name.
