Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister of Pakistan and I believe, the first female leader of a Muslim country, was assassinated yesterday (Thursday). The link goes to an account by a photographer who was there - this picture is his picture taken before the attack.
I didn't find out about this from the radio or the TV news, oddly enough I was checking out a new blog post by my cousin, where he's talking about the New Hampshire primary he's soon to participate in, and he mentioned this at the beginning of the post.
This is very sad - especially sad since when I was googling for articles about this event, most of the links were about the earlier attack on Bhutto in October in Karachi, where she survived and was quoted talking about it afterward. Since most of those posts didn't have a date on the first search results page, it was a momentary feeling of "oh, she's not dead. She's talking about the attack!" But no, it was just the earlier attack.
