Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007

category international | crime and justice | other press author Thursday December 27, 2007 19:28author by Obit the second Report this post to the editors

Its in the mainstream media.

Benazir Bhutto was shot in the neck and then in the head. The asassin then
blew himself up and killed 16 people. President Musharraf has appealed for calm.
He has not stated that the planned January 5th election will go ahead.

George W Bush has condemned the attack, as has Gordon Brown. Both of these
leaders are experiencing political difficulties at home with Brown embroiled in an
Afghanistan scandal.
Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007
Benazir Bhutto 1953-2007

The Killing happened as Benazir Bhutto was departing from a political rally. She was
seen as the main opposition candidate and had been living in exile until the 18th
of October 2007 when she was granted an amnesty and returned to Pakistan.

Musharraf had been forced by international pressure to call a January Fifth election
which was seen as a compromise given the civil unrest of the last few months.
General Musharraf had imprisoned Imran Khan , a Pashtun opposition leader;
and placed Ms Bhutto under house arrest in recent times.

Political Backround:-

Musharraf was seen as a political ally of George W Bush and had used oppression and
attack on opposition leaders and members of civil society groups.

Both Bush and Brown called the killers cowards because they did 'not respect democracy'.
President Bush has been seen to overtly interfere in the directioning of the political will of
the people of Pakistan and had been involved in the choice of date- so it adds a certain
irony to his statements.
