Pakistan’s Bhutto Assassinated |
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was shot dead Thursday at a political rally by an attacker who then set off a blast that left 20 others dead. |
In a year of increasing violence in Pakistan, Bhutto returned home from exile in October to contest parliamentary elections. Analysts said the viability and legitimacy of the Jan. 8 elections have dimmed with her death. |
“The biggest hope for Pakistan was for free and fair elections to give the government some genuine legitimacy,” said Gareth Price, head of the Asia department at the London-based think tank Chatham House. “This assassination will make it much harder to get that free and fair election.” |
