Benazir Bhutto assassinated...

This news comes as a hard blow..not that it was not expected (this threat was looming large on her from the moment she set foot in Pakistan once again), but hard to come to terms with it. I was shattered when I turned on the TV at around 7:10 pm today. At first couldn't believe it...

I am yet to read her autobiography "Daughter of the East', but she sure was a courageous woman to risk her life and come to Pakistan at this time. Wonder what drove her to come back...one would surely be to vindicate herself. Then there is the legacy of her father Zulfikar Bhutto to carry forward and establish democracy in Pakistan. She surely would not have liked 'being in exile' as the last of her memories...but alas, these were not to be.

Can there still be hope? News channel say that the PPP has confirmed her death, though there is still no official announcement...can there be a chance still?
