If Musharaf is assasinated next, watch out for the next gauntlet - a nuclear weapon detonating in Afghanistan near a US base...

You are right...and it was reported she was still alive when they reached the hospital, where she died then.
It seems difficult that one person could have gotten 5 shots off at her, then got in his vehicle and used that for the suicide bombing.

It may have been pellets packed into the suicide bombers vest that hit her, Javed Cheema, an interior ministry spokesman said. That's a new detail that seems more likely than the bomber shooting her and then blowing himself up.

I seem to recall a couple of BILLION went missing last time her and her hubby were in charge in Pakistan.
She was pretty, no denying it. Corrupt and good looking.

Al qaeda or Musharref?
Might be some elements within the ISI.
To: listenhillary
He seems to be a fair weather friend IMO. As long as we are sending money and he pretends to help find Osama & fight Al-Queda, everything is just peachy.Better a fair-weather friend than an all-weather enemy.

TApe out showing Bhutto had already gotten in the vehicle before she was shot. Looks like possibly a sniper.

Her security detail could have been infiltrated.

Similar situation here, with a lovely Pakistani family whose business I frequent, and their comments are that the military should have no role to play in politics. Musharraf’s regime is destroying the country.

Just watched a video that had the noise of the bomb going off. No shots seemed to be fired prior to the explosion.
