Bhutto assassinated at rally

Pakistan's former prime minister was assassinated at a rally by a sucide bomber today.

Bhutto's supporters erupted in anger and grief after her death, attacking police and burning tires and election campaign posters in several cities. At the hospital where she died, some smashed glass and wailed, chanting slogans against President Pervez Musharraf.

Musharraf has responded by convening a meeting to discuss postponing elections again. Of course, this benefits Musharraf since his popularity is terrible. Instead of blaming Musharraf, some are trying to place the blame on militants aligned with the Taliban and Al Queda.

I think the blame can be squarely placed on Musharraf but then I've always thought Bin Laden was in the room next door to Musharraf.
