Sensless Violence
Pakistan's Opposition Leader Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated after she spoke at a political rally in Rawalpindi.
She was shot and subsequently a bomb exploded wounding many of those attending the rally.
What a tragedy.
BBC report and another BBC report.
Not to mention the 180 degree shift in Pakistani politics now, especially seeing as the Parliamentary elections are/were to be held on the 8th of January.
18:37 - Edited to Add: a quick time line of Benazir Bhutto's life.

Last I heard British military commanders in Souther Afghanistant considered themselves to be more or less at war with Pakistan, given the amount of backing and support (some of) the Pakastanis were giving to the Taliban.
God it's a nightmare. Who in their right mind invades Afghanistan.
