ALERT: Benazir Bhutto Dead - [Liberrocky]

More details soon.

Update (Slublog) - First reports coming in:

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Dec. 27 (AP) - (Kyodo)—(EDS: UPDATING)

Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto died Thursday from her injuries sustained in a suicide attack at a political rally for her here, reports said.

"At 6:16 p.m. she expired," Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

A senior military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, confirmed that Bhutto had died, according to the report.

At least 20 people were also killed in the blast, according to witnesses.

Obviously, terrible news. Breitbart reports that Bhutto's supporters are already starting to blame President Musharraf, who may declare emergency (martial) law.

Source: Al Qaeda Claims Responsibility [ace]: That's what a "spokesman" is supposedly saying.

A spokesperson for the al-Qaeda terrorist network has claimed responsibility for the death on Thursday of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

“We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahadeen,” Al-Qaeda’s commander and main spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location, speaking in faltering English. Al-Yazid is the main al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No. 2, the Egyptian doctor, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

Death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and ultimately one cell comprising a defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi’s Punjabi volunteer succeeded in killing Bhutto.

Bhutto had just addressed a pre-election rally on Thursday in the garrison town of Rawalpindi when the bomb went off.

She had come to Rawalpindi after finishing a rapid election campaign, ahead of the January polls, in Pakistan's volatile North West Frontier Province (NWFP) where she had talked about a war against terrorism and al-Qaeda.

Reports say at least 15 other people were killed in the attack and several others injured.

Thanks to muslihoon.

MORE (DrewM.) An obituary that serves as a decent Bhutto primer for those not to familiar with her life and political record.

Having failed with babies and young kids, these douchebags might finally said 'fuck it' and surgically implanted high explosives in the stomachs of some teenaged girls and then sent them to greet Bhutto.

Naomi Wolf needs to be in a psych ward until her meds kick in and control her paranoia.  I'm joking about the hospitalization but not about her being clinically paranoid. Then again, it may all be a money making schtick on her part. Oooo! Big bad Bush is going to get us all!

Bhutto was obviously the real deal

After a recent assassination attempt (failed), she goes right back to public speaking? IN a country literally teeming with insane jihadists?

Thats some serious fucking balls. What a shame. Looks like Pakistan had a true leader with REAL courage- not the Sean Penn kind.

2.] Have ambushers waiting at the main exit routes.

No, the jihadi's were not going to sit still for a woman to become a prominent member of the government.

The Pakistan she fled and the Pakistan she came back to were two entirely different places. Mayhaps some of the chattering fools out there will finally wake up. Outside of our comfy country, many, many other places are little safer than your average crack house.

Pakistan embraced terrorism and fomented Militant Islam because they could not win Kashmir from India using conventional Military means. As of today, Pakistan-borne Islamic terrorists have killed more Pakistanis and Muslims than anyone else. The monster is out of the bottle and is after the blood of it's master.

19 Bhutto was obviously the real deal

No, Bhutto was an absolute disaster and one of the reasons that Sharif tossed the previous government to the curb. Her government was corrupt, kleptocratic and it had a hand in starting all of this islamofascist garbage.

She reaped what she helped sow. Now people will deify her, make her a martyr.

If they reward her at the expense of her assassins, that is a good thing.  Unfortunately, Ghandi is rather an abused figure in Indian politics, for instance, even though he is worshiped in American politics; I figure that we'll all lay wreaths to commemorate her "Great Works" and the Pakistanis will continue to go about their business irregardless of our homages.

This is terrible. She worked hard to reform a country full of misogynist, Islamofascist miscreants. Pakistan has formented terrorist scumbags and extremists for years. She knew her life was in constant danger, but returned to her home and courageously stood up to subhuman filth.

To be sure, the Musharraf regime will blame the United States for brokering an agreement to let her back into Pakistan, and the moonbats on the Left will blame President Bush because everything is his fault, from their lousy childhoods to their miserable worthless adult lives.

Musharraf is probably glad that someone finally got to her.  She was the biggest threat to the oppressive, corrupt regime.  No one has yet claimed responsibility for this atrocity, but Musharraf, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda head up the list. For her efforts to bring democracy to Pakistan, she was rewarded with murder.

Expect a lot of rioting and more bombs. It won’t stop until all the muslim extremist pigs are dead, which means it won’t be any time soon.

Political parties in Pakistan tend to revolve around personality cults rather than ideologies. It will be interesting to see who picks up Benazir's baton.

I woke up and saw "Breaking News: Bhutto Assassinated" on TV. I thought they were showing live coverage from after Zia's coup. A few minutes later, I come to realize they're talking about Benazir Bhutto.

Don't get me wrong, Pakistan is a shithole and will likely remain so as long as Islamic radicals are a large portion of the population but we have not been immune to assassinations ourselves.  Eighteen serious attempts and four succeeded.  16th, 20th , 25th and 35th Presidents.  I'm suprised Pakistan doesn't have an assassination every other day.

Vercingetorix,

I'd call you a moron, but that would insult all the fine morons here. Bhotto did not "reap what she helped to sow". Islamic fascism was arond long before her. I don;t doubt that she wasn't the cleanest politician around, at least by American standards, but if you can show me a political saint over in that part of the world I would be pretty shocked.

Bhutto showed more bravery in the last year than most American politicians have shown in their lifetimes. She knew of the threats, yet tried to bring her country back from the brink. If this doesn't wake up the Pakis, then I don't know what will. There needs to be a demand to rid the country of terrorists, or this will keep happening again and again.

I think that Pakistan will be the center of the news for the next year. The Islamic crazies tossed from Afghanistan and the Saudi funding for them all moved to Pakistan.  They hatched a fresh generation of madmen.

The insane fundamentalists are simply too strong now for any hope of a quiet resolution.  Usually the military would take over and shoot the situation into submission, but the military is full of fundamentalists too.

I don't see much hope except for a U.S. supported Musharaf'  dictatorship which will be condemned by the rest of the world, while they refuse to deal with the problem. I don't like that solution - and I'm open to another one if anybody has one - but I think that violent death has found a new home for the next few years.

I don't believe there are any local powers that can form a successful peacekeeping force.  India probably has the strength but would be as welcome as a cobra. The same is true for China.  The U.S. can't go in. The U.N.?  Go on, Guv, pull the other one.

Yeah, yeah, wonderful, good for her, BUT her government was a disaster. Ie the government she was a part of. Talk about Iraq's governmental malfeasance then look at the Pakistanis pull off con jobs that would have shocked Stalin.

Now, I agree with you on most points. She obviously wasn't a coward, but bravery doesn't necessarily make heroes. Her government was as much a part of the problem as Mushariff's. Bro, that die is cast, that damage was done, by her and her predecessors.

She wanted to help? Too little, too late. Pakistan hurdled off the brink a long time ago.

You have to admit that it doesn't get much lower than kidnapping a baby, packing it with explosives, and using it as a bomb.

Americans would be outraged over the bombing of houses of worship. But over there, like packing infants with C-4, is business as usual.

There is no hope for places like Pakistan. I think the best outcome is to contain them to killing each other and not us.

Posted by: Chop Suey Palace at December 27, 2007 11:10 AM (b1V5y)

41 Not to be pedantic, but there's a bit of a difference between martial law and emergency rule. Emergency rule is declared by the president acting as such and deals with expanding the government's permissible actions. Martial law is declared by the Chief of Staff (now Gen. Ashfaq Kayani) and dissolves the civilian government.

Musharraf cannot declare martial law, although Kayani could and install Musharraf as Chief Executive. Previously, Musharraf declared emergency rule, not martial law. He can do so again.

43 Many here have said that this was expected. And it's true. If they really wanted to get her, it would only be a matter of time.

But I'm still shocked.

As bad as she was, she was the best there was for a democratic government. If we want Pakistan to have a democratic government. Which, frankly, I don't see why we should be pressuring them to have one. Only dictatorship will keep it together, and only dictatorship will allow the government to force its armed services to shoot the terrorists. But if we wanted Pakistan to have a democratically-elected leader, Benazir would have been the one who would have worked with us the best.

Consider the deplorable lack of assassination attempts on Nawaz Sharif. This should tell us something.

The presidential nominees are starting to work to get the angle on this extraordinarily unfortunate, but not surprising, event:
McCampaignFinanceReform
Huckster

Romney
I'm sure there's more out there by now, but the implications are obvious.  Not even Chuck Norris' savage appeal should be able to save Huckabee on his lack of foreign policy, and if this stays in the news for more than 2 or 3 days it will completely alter the tone of the primaries (for the good I think).

This whole idea of a Musharraf-Bhutto marriage either came from State or was at a minimum facilitated by us. I am sure it looked good in a position paper and there was much congratulating at Foggy Bottom but then destiny took a hand.

Indeed, wiserbud, but there is a golden mean here to balance things out. There is no One-Size-Fits-All Scheme of what works with democracy and Islamic countries, at least (and all nations, really).

So, point taken with Saddam, but I venture a point with Gaza and the effect of democracy there. Personally, I think a democratic Gaza was a clarifying event; the Palis chose war and war they were handed. And elections have handed many nations to far worse governments, from Latin America to Africa to Asia (and Europe).

It is easy to say that democracy works, but we really only think democracy works when they choose the right leaders. If they held elections tomorrow in Pakistan, the Paki choice might be worse for the world around them than another century of tyranny. They do have nukes, after all.

But in the end, I'm a military guy. Crush my enemies, all else is luxury.

John Bolton in a Hugh Hewitt interview...

HH: What ought to be the reaction of the United States to Musharraf’s declaration of military rule? 

JB: Well, I don’t think it’s anything we should celebrate, of course, but I think we have to be practical about this. This is a regime in control of a number of nuclear weapons, it’s a regime we need to fight the remainder of al Qaeda and Taliban along its border with Afghanistan. And I don’t think we ought to be pushing Musharraf out the door, or necessarily in a direction of coalitions with the likes of Benazir Bhutto, if he thinks it would weaken his position, because the alternative is not a nice Jeffersonian democratic government. The alternative to Musharraf right now is an Islamo-fascist government in control of nuclear weapons, and that’s definitely something to fear. 

HH: Is there a danger that Musharraf could become Bush’s Shah or his Diem? 

JB: Well, I think that’s entirely possible, and I think part of the reason is the State Department was pushing Benazir Bhutto on him, and I think it was a very foolish strategy, because you can’t say take on some of the democratic opposition and not take on the rest of it. This trying to read internal Pakistani politics is hard for the Pakistanis, let alone for people at the State Department.

74 We have plenty of influence in shaping other governments but not total influence.  The question is whether we use our leverage and influence properly. In this case we pushed for democracy and unworkable coalitions too soon.  I blame State and BDS.

Yep. My point, poorly made, is that Zawahiri called for jihad against Pakistan last summer following in the footsteps of the founder of al Qaeda, Azzam. Pakistan was home for al Qaeda before and during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and has always been a training ground for recruits and a target for takeover.

This attack, while sad, is not surprising and things are likely to get worse before they get better.

77 I am sure it looked good in a position paper and there was much congratulating at Foggy Bottom but then destiny took a hand.

Thanks H&R - exactly what I was thinking about. I am sure their was all kinds of cheers and back pats at Foggy Bottom.

Fools. Makes me sick our tax dollars pay the salaries of the entrenched partisan morons at State and CIA. They seem to do more harm than good.

President Bush's arrogant bunker mentality can be seen as a contributing factor in today's horrific events.

I am calling for a surge in wingtips on the ground in Pakistan.

If only we could read that Bush and Blair had been blown to bits with this greedy corrupt bitch who was persuaded to return for the American style of imposed democracy.
Why have the war criminals Bush and Blair have not been assasinated?

Well, shit, meet fan.

It is impossible for Pakistan to be a stable, peaceful country unless and until the millions of fucked-up fanatics there are killed. 

Can anyone come up with a scenario for a peaceful Pakistan that doesn't require death and destruction on a WWII  scale?

THe left wing/Democrat spin writes itself

Musharraf is Bushs puppet- he declared "martial law" which infuriated the jihadis, who in turn killed Bhutto

Our support of "dictators" for "convenience" resulted in this bloodshed. If we really wanted to bring about "democracy" we would drop Musharraf and let the Pakistanis vote in elections

etc. etc.

Its the jihad, stupid dems.

No, you can blame the Bush Administration. It is, after all, at least formerly the central tenet of its foreign policy.

Here is the official statement from the Clinton camp:

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Death of Benazir Bhutto

"I am profoundly saddened and outraged by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a leader of tremendous political and personal courage. I came to know Mrs. Bhutto over many years, during her tenures as Prime Minister and during her years in exile. Mrs. Bhutto's concern for her country, and her family, propelled her to risk her life on behalf of the Pakistani people. She returned to Pakistan to fight for democracy despite threats and previous attempts on her life and now she has made the ultimate sacrifice. Her death is a tragedy for her country and a terrible reminder of the work that remains to bring peace, stability, and hope to regions of the globe too often paralyzed by fear, hatred, and violence.

"Let us pray that her legacy will be a brighter, more hopeful future for the people she loved and the country she served. My family and I extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to the victims and their families and to the people of Pakistan."

You are right.  The administration should have resisted the State's push for this strategy which I believe was greatly based on their dislike of Bush and his support for Musharraf and strategy to fight the WOT.

If you happen to read the newly released Shadow Warriors you will find that it doesn't matter when the White House resists the State departments push for anything. The state department bureauBRATS defy the WH and it's policies at every turn, no matter what.

91 I'm 2/3 through Shadow Warriors and it is alarming to say the least.  The fact that he names the players and to my knowledge no litigation blowback, tells me a lot.  The White House seemed to ignore a lot of this malfeasance and they can be blamed for that.
