Unbelievable. They finally got the poor woman. They’ve been trying for months.
Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday outside a large gathering of her supporters where a suicide bomber also killed at least 14, doctors and a spokesman for her party said.
While Bhutto appeared to have died from bullet wounds, it was not immediately clear if she was shot or if her wounds were caused by bomb shrapnel.
President Pervez Musharraf held an emergency meeting in the hours after the death, according to state media.
Mahmud Ali Durrani, Pakistan ambassador to the United States, said Musharraf will be “announcing something” soon, likely to include a declaration of national mourning for Bhutto. He said that when he briefly spoke with Musharraf, the president “condemned these attacks.”
Police warned citizens to stay home as they expected rioting to break out in city streets in reaction to the death.
