RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack at a campaign rally that also killed at least 20 others, aides said.

Bhutto's supporters erupted in anger and grief after her death, attacking police and burning tires and election campaign posters in several cities. At the hospital where she died, some smashed glass and wailed, chanting slogans against President Pervez Musharraf.

 

eto ba dapat gawin sa mga corrupt sa pinas? or baka mauwi din ito sa mga opposition?

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan's military intelligence service (the ISI) had a hand in this assassination. They have close ties with al-Qaeda and the Taliban and had much to gain by getting Bhutto out of the way since the coming elections would be rendered meaningless - Pervez Musharraf would win the presidency again hands down - and the status quo is kept.

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It's the courage to continue that counts.
