Another jihadi (PPP) bit the bullet in Karachi today, and his cronies walked out of the legislature to set up mass protests over it.

I would not say that PPP are jihadist. Munawwar Suharwardy, Sindh PPP information secretary and a close confidant of Ms Benazir Bhutto, was shot dead in a targeted killing on Thursday afternoon near the busy Guru Mandir intersection. He was probably killed by a jihadist.

Thank you for the correction, that is a critical mistake on my part.

It is late, there is much going on, and because I have been expecting political resistance from the jihadists in response to the tribal offensives, when I heard the assembly had walked out in protest, I made a quick and inaccurate assumption.

From what I've read of Ms. Bhutto, it would indeed seem unlikely for her to consort with jihadists.

Without dismissing or minimizing my error, I would like to say that any assassination isn't going to calm things down over there, and the risks still apply.

Once again, sorry for any confusion resulting from my post.
