Only this time in a nuclear armed nation with too many nuts to count near the triggers. Watching this develop throughout the coming days will be tense and already Shrillary is on the trail comparing herself to former Prime Minister Bhutto who she is making sure the world knows "they were good friends" according to her accounts this morning and she hasn't even gotten the job yet. One thing for sure is she is already taking full advantage of this crisis in any way she can for her personal gain at someone else's expense, a familiar role for her.
Musharraf will have to do some real magic to not be implicated in this killing by his rabid detractors as well as by Bhutto's millions of supporters to keep himself alive through this crisis and chaos.
The Religion of Peace radical jihadders have struck again, this time one of their own people, people whom they target so often in their pursuit of world dominance, and this is another step towards that end it appears.
Pakistan's Bhutto Assassinated in Attack at Rally
Bloomberg.com: News: "Dec. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Former Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, the first woman prime minister of an Islamic nation, was assassinated in an attack at an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi. She was 54.
``She's dead,'' a Bhutto aide, Imran Hayat, said today as he sobbed in a telephone interview from Rawalpindi General Hospital. Rioting began as her supporters gathered outside the hospital."It wasn't immediately clear whether Bhutto died in the blast or was shot by the bomber before he blew himself up, Bhutto spokesman Farhatullah Babar told state-run television. Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Cheema said earlier in a phone interview that she was killed in the bombing. At least 15 other people were also killed and more than 60 were injured, police said.
President Pervez Musharraf condemned the killing and appealed for calm in a statement broadcast on state television, after rioting broke out in cities across Pakistan. In Rawalpindi, where the army has its headquarters, shops were torched and Bhutto's backers clashed with police. Unrest broke out in her hometown, Larkana, while in Lahore there were reports of gunfire from some parts of the city, Pakistan's AAJ television reported.
``It was Benazir Bhutto that posed the main threat to pro- Musharraf parties,'' Farzana Shaikh, Pakistan analyst at the London-based Chatham House foreign policy institute, said in a phone interview from Montpellier, France. ``Long-term it raises very, very serious questions about the stability of Pakistan.''
