Word of the assassination of Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto this morning brought an overwhelming sense of loss. As I’ve followed news of political developments in Pakistan in recent months, I’ve marveled at Bhutto’s courage as she continued to put her life at risk for her beliefs and the people she loved.
As the Reuters account points out, her death puts the upcoming Jan. 8 polls in doubt. And certainly no one can argue with the party official who said she had been martyred.
