“The attack has left at least 14 dead and 40 injured, Tariq Azim Khan, the country’s former information minister, told CNN in a telephone interview.
The attacker is said to have detonated a bomb as he tried to enter the rally where thousands of people gathered to hear Bhutto speak, police said.
Bhutto is said to have been leaving the rally when the attack occurred and was taken to a hospital in an unconcious state, the Geo TV report said.”
Damn.

Should the headline be changed? It’s confirmed she has died.
Yes, she’s dead. Not from injuries from the bomb attack, she was shot in the neck in a subsequent attack on her car as she left the rally.
Unbelievable...these Islamic fanatics will never stop.
Maybe this will unite the West against these animals? Filthy sub-human terrorists...

“Pakistan’s Bhutto Killed by Bombing”
December 27, 2007 - 8:30am
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide bombing that also killed at least 20 others at a campaign rally, a party aide and a military official said.”
Damn them to hell.
As I always say, “Jihad — another day.”
Her death will make for some very interesting days ahead in Pakistan.
CNN says her husband said she was shot after the bombing. Very early, but possibly a diversion (the bombing) to get at her?
Reporting she died at 6:16 PM LOCAL TIME in Rawalpindi.
They are 11.5 hours AHEAD of US Central Time.
