Former Pakistani Prime Minister Killed in Bombing

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and political opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed Thursday in a suicide attack on her white SUV after a Political rally.

The death of Ms. Bhutto, one of Pakistan's most beloved leaders and head of its largest political party, is an emotional event for many. Rioting broke out in several cities late Thursday night. The unrest could lead to the declaration of martial law, experts say, and the postponement of parliamentary elections scheduled for Jan. 8, 2008.

Bhutto was shot in the neck and torso after a political rally and then was killed by a suicide bomb that hit her SUV and killed 20 others. She was pronounced dead an hour later at the hospital.

Political Analysts warn that the death of Ms. Bhutto will probably lead to a long term political instability in the country, and in the Middle east. The Stock markets in New York also dropped some 100 points after the news was given out.

Bhutto's rival Pakistani President Musharraf gave his sympathies to Bhutto's family and announced 3 days of official morning.

With 69% of the votes it is unavoidable that Dr. Danilo Tuerk will succeed Dr. Janez Drnovsek as President of the Republic of Slovenia. Dr. Tuerk was Slovenia's first representative to the UN in the 1990's and is a relatively new political figure. Lojze Peterle who won the first Presidential election in October with a slim 4% only received a startling 30% of the votes. He was also supported by the Current Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa.

With the state of emergency, normal Pakistani citizens have literally no rights and the Pakistani Supreme court, the one that was supposed to rule if Mr Musharraf can still be president, was disbanded. Mr. Musharraf appears to be going over his own head as he has very little public support.

The Military ruler recently granted former exiled Prime Minister Bhutto to be allowed back to the country to form a "coalition government" many Pakistanis say the leader is just desperate to stay in power. The outcome of that should play out in the upcoming future.
