In Memoriam: Benazir Bhutto

The two-time prime minister of Pakistan, the first and only woman to lead that country, has been killed in a suicide attack in Rawalpindi while leaving a rally.

Elections were scheduled for January 8, and Ms. Bhutto and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif (deposed in 1999 by current President Pervez Musharraf) were the leaders of the most successful opposition coalition in Pakistan.

It is not known if the elections will be held as planned, or delayed (or canceled).
