Fox reporting that Bhutto is critically injured, her husband says it is serious, some sort of shrapnel wounds.

She apparently disappeared for about 30 minutes before being taken to the hospital.

This is the same venue that she wanted to have a rally at in October, but was persuaded not to have the rally.

AP confirms that Benazir Bhutto is now in surgery.

They’re covering this live on FOX. She has schrapnel wounds- not in good condition.

According to Wiki—

She is a member of the SHIA Islam...

I get confused, is this the bad Islam or the worse Islam sect???

From this link....

What's the Difference Between Shia and Sunni Muslims?.

...Sunni Muslims make up the majority (85%) of Muslims all over the world. Significant populations of Shia Muslims can be found in Iran and Iraq, and large minority communities in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and Lebanon.

SO...Saddam was a Shia, does that make Bhutto good or bad?
I read her Wiki entry and shi initially supported the Taliban in Afghanistan because she thought it would stabilize the country...then she repudiated the Tallys because of terrorism.

I’m conflicted! Do we like her or not? I’ve always thought she received so many allegations of corruption, she must be doing something...she was Prime Minister twice...
