LOS ANGELES (Catholic Online) - Benazir Bhutto, proclaimed as a champion and hero of those who sought reform in Pakistan, has been assassinated.
Reports from Pakistan indicate that a homicide bomber shot the former Prime Minister and opposition leader in the neck and the chest as she was getting into her car and then blew himself up, killing at least twenty others.
Mrs. Bhutto died at 6:16 p.m. at the Rawalpindi General Hospital where she was taken after the attack. Supporters gathered in deep grief, which turned to anger as they shouted slogans of derision directed toward Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf.
The Associated Press reported that their correspondent at the scene saw body parts and flesh scattered at the Park where Mrs. Bhutto had addressed a crowd. He counted at least twenty bodies and confirmed the presence of many wounded.
