Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto Assassinated
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated just two months after returning to Pakistan from exile. She died after an apparent suicide attack in the city of Rawalpindi. Bhutto had just addressed an election rally when gunfire and an explosion occurred. We go to Pakistan and simulcast part of the breaking news coverage on Dawn News and speak with Sadaf Aziz, professor of law and policy at Lahore University of Management Sciences, and Zia Mian, a physicist with the Program on Science and Global Security at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

I do not know if she was brave or stupid really. She was consistently warned that her life was under treat. Her children begged her to return to England, and yet she continued to pursue going to Pakistan even though she was exiled twice from the same country. Maybe she believed that Pakistan could really be different - instead it has gotten more soaked with the ideology of Islamists.

This was bound to happen and I believe she knew it, why she pursued despite the danger is beyond me. I suppose there are some special people out there brave enough to do the things that are needed for others to enjoy freedom.
