Pakistan In Darkness

Yesterday in the evening(Indian time), when Benazir Bhutto was returning to her car,she was assassinated in a gun and suicide attack minutes after she addressed a huge election rally in Rawalpindi. Shots were fired at her before a suicide bomber blew himself up near her bullet-proof jeep as it pulled out of the Liaquat Bagh gate. Bullets pierced her neck and damaged her trachea, which proved fatal. The attacker blew himself up as guards attempted to overpower him. More than 28 people were killed and some 100 injured, including Benazir’s political secretary Naheed Khan and Sherry Rehman in the attack. Benazir Bhutto was rushed to the nearby Rawalpindi General Hospital (RGH) where she passed away during surgery.One thing is sure that the hope for democratic Pakistan has been buried now with the body of Benazir Bhutto.She was the last hope for the Pakistani public to bring a democratic government.Now as she is dead,the former president, Mr.Parvez Musharraf will not let Navaz Sharif get into the elections and therefore,Pakistani future will go back into a dark tunnel........................................
