She was one of my heroines.
Benazir Bhutto was assassinated earlier today and the aftermath is likely to unsettle an already volatile Pakistan. This courageous woman, called the Angel Of The East and Champion Of The Poor, was a natural leader who rallied millions of Pakistanis behind her. I have always admired her courage and her determination to unite Pakistan.
I leave any speculation about the perpetrators of her death to Political commentators who are more savvy about the politics in the country than I am, but it is obvious that there are those in the country who fear democracy and the impending powerful return to government of this charismatic lady. She was a very special person.
