Pakistan's Fractured Polity: Who Killed Bhutto?

Supporters prepared the grave of Benazir Bhutto, who was laid to rest next to the body of her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in the family’s ancestral graveyard.

"The death of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is being mourned by millions of Pakistanis. She had a profound public base despite staying out of her country for nearly a decade and being dogged by corruption and nepotism charges. Her death, however, should not come as a surprise at all. For the past three decades, Pakistan has been turning into a ‘Jihad factory' under the guidance of the US and other Western powers. After 9/11 when Pakistan launched a war on its own people in the name of ‘War on terror', it was not uncanny to predict that the Jihadis who were nourished previously would turn against their old allies; the politicians and the military and the innocent people of Pakistan would get caught and entangled as a collateral."
