[Vega]

Perhaps, she has been killed in order to postpone coming elections.

Who is the beneficiary of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto death of former Prime Minister of Pakistan

We can direct this question to the organization that wanted her to be killed.

[MissLT]

a woman could hold the power in a islamic country..

It's hard for a woman to enter this "men only" area in general. She was like Aung San Suu Kyi to me.

I don't like it when news become grim so sometimes I try to avoid it all and just have a peace of mind

[Bambang]

Seems everybody here is BHUTTO's men/women.

Keep in mind, when Bhutto was the prime minister, her government was considered corrupt!!!

What do you want to imply?

To be honest, I really didn't know her until public disagreement about her (from some people) came out in the open lately...however you look at it, no one deserves to die in that way.

Bhutto's corruption cases.
These might be true.


1. The assets held by Bhutto and her husband have been scrutinized. The prosecutors have alleged that their Swiss bank accounts contain £740 million.

2. In the largest single payment investigators have discovered, a gold bullion dealer in the Middle East was shown to have deposited at least $10 million into one of Zardari's accounts after the Bhutto government gave him a monopoly on gold imports that sustained Pakistan's jewelry industry. The money was deposited into a Citibank account in the United Arab Emirates sheikdom of Dubai, one of several Citibank accounts used by Zardari (Bhuttos's husband).

3. Together, the documents provided an extraordinarily detailed look at high-level corruption in Pakistan, a nation so poor that perhaps 70 percent of its 130 million people are illiterate, and millions have no proper shelter, no schools, no hospitals, not even safe drinking water. During Bhutto's five years in power, the country became so enfeebled that she spent much of her time negotiating loans to stave off default on more than $62 billion in public debt.

4. Other properties that Pakistani investigators have linked to members of the Bhutto family include a string of luxury apartments in London. Pakistan has asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate still more bank accounts and properties, including a country club and a polo ranch in Palm Beach County, Fla., said to be worth about $4 million, that were bought by associates of Zardari in the mid-1990s.

5. On July 23, 1998, the Swiss Government handed over documents to the government of Pakistan which relate to corruption allegations against Benazir Bhutto and her husband.[19] The documents included a formal charge of money laundering by Swiss authorities against Zardari. The Pakistani government had been conducting a wide-ranging inquiry to account for more than $13.7 million frozen by Swiss authorities in 1997 that was allegedly stashed in banks by Bhutto and her husband. The Pakistani government recently filed criminal charges against Bhutto in an effort to track down an estimated $1.5 billion she and her husband are alleged to have received in a variety of criminal enterprises

6. The Polish Government has given Pakistan 500 pages of documentation relating to corruption allegations against Benazir Bhutto and her husband. These charges are in regard to the purchase of 8,000 tractors in a 1997 deal.[25][26] According to Pakistani officials, the Polish papers contain details of illegal commissions paid by the tractor company in return for agreeing to their contract

7. and many more.

This is a very sensitive case...(no comment). Who am I to judge on the first place.
