Benazir Bhutto - Assassinated

Exiled, returned. Blocked from participating. Musharraf then called down an 'emergency' lockdown of the country, imprisoned opponents and protestors. Lifted martial law when international pressure became too great and promised he'd allow the elections to go on. But apparently, someone just couldn't take the chance that he might lose anything. Bhutto was shot and killed today at a political rally, along with 20 other people.

**The Yahoo report was sloppy. Apparently, it was a suicide bombing. When she'd returned from exile, a suicide bomber managed to kill 136 people gathered to receive her. Taliban will get the blame, not Musharraf. Terrorists come in handy when you need them. Ask George.

******Okay, I'm sorry. It appears that, sloppiness notwithstanding, Bhutto was shot first, and then the suicide bomber blew himself up.
