RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide bombing that also killed at least 20 others and plunged the nuclear-armed country into chaos ahead of a general election she had hoped to win.

The death of the charismatic former prime minister created fears of mass protests and an eruption of violence across the volatile south Asian nation, which also is a hotbed for Muslim extremists.

Pakistani troops were put on "red alert" across the country as President Pervez Musharraf blamed terrorists for Bhutto's death and said he would redouble his efforts to fight them.

Ouhhhhh there are so many things I could say here....but I am sure they would be considered disrespectful

Somebody gag me

anger,anger nothing but anger...wonderful woman lost...

im angry too

she was the first pakistani woman i had a chance to learn about.

world is just unjust for women,given a chance to speak up...then shot by assasin exclaiming male's point of view..damn it!!!

Unfortunately it was only a matter of time. Musharraf had been working towards this since her return to Pakistan in October. Now he conveniently places the blame on terrorist.
Disgusting!

I am not an expert in Pakistani history or politics but it seems clear to me that she was a threat to the current establishment. It seems some people where afraid at just the thought of loosing an election. It is a sad day for Pakistan, women and humans in general.

it is...just a proof that women do not matter..anyway..keep fighting..

Another open minded person is lost! male or female doesnt matter... she was a great personality...

God bless her soul...
