THE ASSASSINATION OF BENAZIR BHUTTO

"Make my death a canticle for peace.
Evil has no greater friend than anger,
Making ready converts to its cause." (Nicholas Gordon)

Plus a very good article by Tariq Ali, who knew her well, remained highly sceptical of her politics, yet reflects the appalling tragedy, sadness, injustice and poignancy of what is going on in Pakistan so effectively. See: A tragedy born of military despotism and anarchy (Guardian) and also Jason Burke's obituary.
