former pakistani prime minister died this afternoon after a suicide bomber deternated his explosive near her convoy as she was about entering her bullet proof jeep after a rally.

them done succeed to kill the poor woman. bad belle people

all fingers to USA.

Now, the only big opposition to Musharaf is dead.

She was a dummy to accept to come-back and work with Musaraf.

@topic,

It is so unfortunate that she died just like that. I hope her own shildren won't suffer the safe fate that began with her father.

@babasin,

Was it the US that pulled the trigger that killed her? When are we going to start holding responsible those who carry out such attrocities and stop blaming circumstances presumably created by the US or others? what does the US stand to gain from her death? She was pro-US to the core!

US has no friend or enermy. so forget this pro-US story. Abiola was equally killed by same US and he was pro-US.

Musharaf is still helping the US to fight the alqeda; to help get Osama and secure Afghan.

US needs him for that, atleast for now. No strong opposition is allowed for that reason.

Above is already demonstrated how BUSH supportted Musharaf to plan coup against his own country last month!
US does not need to pull the trigger, they have proxies everywhere to do.

Did US pull the rope that kill Saddam?

BB. had generated a lot of bad blood and ought to have stayed out of politics after 2 reigns in a volatile environment. The problem is that people push their ambitions too far that they don't know when to retreat.

terrible news.

may she RIP.

Yes but dont forget also, if anyone can win in Paki free & fair election, its BB. she has the followers!

That's why Musharaf was going to use her to win election(musharaf pardon her and encourage her to come home) until he got a better coup-idea backed by US.

Musharaf was the ONLY person to plan a coup against himself!

At that moment, I agree she should have seen the handwriting on the wall and escape.

i beg to disagree with you nossycheek, she retreated and saw no good come out of it hence the return.

nigerians have been retreating since God only knows when, see what good it has done us.

may her soul rest in perfect peace.

Like her father, she has paid the ultimate sacrifice for her beloved country.

Nigeria will not go forward until our leaders are angry enough, and dedicated enough to offer to pay the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country if it should become necessary.

May her soul RIP.

hmmmm

What a shocking news to hear. BB was first attacked after she came back home and about 130 people was claimed to have been killed. What gave her the confidence to still think she is safe in Pakistan?

Why did she allow herself to be conned into returning anyway?

RIP BB

I am afraid she died for nothing!

Abiola did same, ran away, came back and died drinking tea with US-agents for nothing.

election in 2007 was worse than in 1993: he basically died for nothing.

oma se o. I just woke up this morning and found out about it, what a shame. Rest In Peace.

This is so unfortunate! Imagine!

This is a clear case of murder by Musharaf and his cohorts.

May her soul RIP

All those saying it was musharraf need to keep quiet, the woman was killed by a suicide bomber and the last time i checked, Bhutto was a female in an islamic fundamentalist country running for presidency, which made her an enemy to a lot of people.

there you go. she was already two-time president. The same islamic country is more open to WOMEN president than your US-DEMOCRAZY.

Musharraf invited her to come since he needs her to win election before he dream-up his coup-strategy

Western powers saw in her a popular leader with liberal leanings who could bring much needed legitimacy to Mr Musharraf's role in the "war against terror".

--

Benazir's other brother, Shahnawaz - also politically active but in less violent ways than Murtaza - was found dead in his French Riviera apartment in 1985.

--

Her brother, Murtaza, won elections from exile in 1993 and became a provincial legislator, returning home soon afterwards, only to be shot dead under mysterious circumstances in 1996.

RIP  

musharaff has made her a martyr. she was a very brave woman. history shall judge musharaff for this cowardly act of shame

@poster
was it only a bomb that killed her? by the accounts i read she was first shot in the neck and chest, and then the shooter detonated a bomb planted on his body.

see link below:

I was just about to ask when the US would be blamed for this murder . . . i see someone has already beat me to it.

babasin:

no she was 2-time prime minister. 1988 - 1990 and 1993 - 1996.

Was just following it now on CNN.

Really sad. . Then again, she saw it coming.

I had to take a break from my Christmas holidays to comment on this one after they interrupted my "price is right" to break this news.
Chai, so the enemies of progress have succeded in cutting down this brave woman?
What on earth is wrong with these imbeciles?

I saw her on CNN the other day talking about how she may pay the ultimate price,it almost felt like she was preaching at her own funeral.
I hope the rest of her family flee to Britain and leave that God forsaken Pakistan for good.
Islama[b]bad [/b]  is really a  bad place to live.

Anywhere western but Paki

I screamed out loud on hearing the sad news.
I loved that woman just like I love all brave women (and men)
Not too many people would be as brave as she was,walking amongst serpents.
If I had wealth and fame,I would name a prominent center after her.
I pray that God Almighty consoles her family and uses this time to draw them unto himself.

Believe it or not, US and George Bush have hands in this! Is the idea of a coup [as suggested by Pervez Musharraf and supported by George Bush] a means of surviving in democracy?

To make matters worse, Pervex has just spilled innocence blood because of his greed for power. But one thing is sure: What goes around, comes around. Pervez should wait for his own bloody death-day.

Benazir Bhutto, the eldest child of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was born on June 21, 1953, at Karachi. She attended Lady Jennings Nursery School and then Convent of Jesus and Mary in Karachi. After two years of schooling at the Rawalpindi Presentation Convent, she was sent to the Jesus and Mary Convent at Murree. She passed her O-level examination at the age of 15. In April 1969, she got admission in the You. S. at Harvard University's Radcliffe College. In June 1973, Benazir graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Political Science. After graduating from Harvard, Benazir joined Oxford University in the fall of 1973. Just before graduation, Benazir was elected to the Standing Committee of the most prestigious Oxford Union Debating Society.
In 1976, she graduated in P. P. E. (Politics, Philosophy and Economics). In the autumn of 1976, Benazir returned once again to Oxford to do a one-year postgraduate course. In January 1977, she was elected the President of the Oxford Union. Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan in June 1977. She wanted to join the Foreign Service but her father wanted her to contest the Assembly election. As she was not yet of age, Benazir Bhutto assisted her father as an advisor.

At the age of 35, she was the youngest and the first woman Prime Minister to lead a Muslim nation in modern age. During her first term, she started Peoples Program for economic uplift of the masses. Benazir Bhutto also lifted a ban on student and trade unions.

The praise singing was getting a bit over the top.She was corrupt and inept.She contributed significantly to bring Pakistan to financial ruins.

She once supported the Taliban,seeing them as a convenient tool to determine events in neighboring Afghanistan.The Taliban experiment eventually got out of hand.Afghanistan became a cesspool of International Islamic terrorists. Inevitably,the jihadists problem seeped into Pakistan and may ultimately have led to her murder.The country is now the epicentre for organisations like al-Qaeda and their ilk.

No one deserves to die in such an undignified manner
