Benazir Bhutto assassinated

…according to the BBC and CNN. This is a horrid end to a very turbulent political life, and carries on from the execution of her father, also once Prime Minister of Pakistan. Very sad day.

    I think Britain has a larger Pakistani population than the US. I hope there won’t be riots there over this. Even in the US, stocks are down due to the assassination.

    Not only sad, but boding very ill for Pakistan’s stability (a questionable proposition at best, anyway).

    I would be surprised if there were riots, but there will probably be a demonstration or a memorial march or two.

    Indeed. It is pretty unstable at best. I suspect there’ll be full-scale civil war.
