BLAST HEARD OUTSIDE BHUTTO RALLY IN PAKISTAN'S RAWALPINDI - REUTERS WITNESSPAKISTANI OPPOSITION LEADER BENAZIR BHUTTO IS SAFE - DAWN TV
Apparently the perp fatally wounded Bhutto with a GSW to the neck. He then blew himself up. Where and who were security? The trail is still warm.
Other than blaming Bush, that is.
Hamid Mir just called in to Fox, said she had five bullets in her body, was still alive in route, died from neck bleeding.
I want to know how many others were shot... names.
Speaking of end-time friends... I have a slew of stuff for you, when I find it... will send.
This is not good. What in the hell are they thinking.
Dear Lord, pray for them.
Thank you Ali Veritas.
When I’m back on later in the afternoon, I’ll check.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PPP leader Benazir Bhutto has been shot dead following a suicide attack on her rally in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan interior ministry had earlier declared a high alert across the country post the attacks that marred rallies of both main opposition leaders, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto.
The blast occured minutes after Benazir Bhutto finished her speech.
‘’We are traumatised. People all over are crying. Everyone is saying that this Army has killed Benazir. There is going to be more bloodshed. Will the world now finally wake up? said a distraught Asma Jehangir, Chairperson, Pak Human Rights Commission.
According to reports, 20 people have been killed and 42 others injured in the attack.
PPP Information Secretary Sherry Rehman has also been injured in the attack and taken to a hospital.”

They’re both bad. Iran = shia and Saudi Arabia/wahabbism = sunni.
Saddam was Sunni.
So much there being any worry about Musharff losing the upcoming election.
The Muzis finally got her. It was only a matter of time, but still — not good news.
Civil war in Pakistan?
No, Shiites are the largest group in Iraq, but Saddam was Sunni. This is a large source of the tension between Shiite Iran and Sunni Iraq: that Iraq was the ancestral birthplace of Shiah.
Is she good or bad? She’s anti-terrorist and her courage suggests she’s not motivated by “what’s in it for me.” She may make a lot of bad moves, and hold a lot of questionnable ideals, but selflessness and a repudiation of terror are alone enough to make her a “good guy” in the region to me... even if she has a lot of deals with a lot of corrupt people.
Uniting the West, hah!. The most likely effect will be a total destabilization of Nuclear Armed Pakistan.
Glad I don't live in Israel or India. But living here in the US could get dicey as well.
