That's too bad... who is she, exactly? Not being disrespectful, just wondering.

President of Pakistan before Mussharief(ms) did a military coup and took over.

You could give me 100 guesses and I'd never guess who that is.

wasn't there a recent attempt on her? Like a bomb going off and taking out a few other people instead of her?

That is pretty saddening. I have been following her stuff on the radio since she came back to Pakistan. It was really disheartening to hear that she was taken out by a suicide bomber. She had some good plans and ideas.

I guess she was shot, then the dude blew himself up.

There is video on CNN of the gun shots aimed right at her, its pretty insane! Then boom

I was just reading about how she had sent an email to Wolf Blitzer with CNN about her problems with her security. I wonder what kind of retaliation there might be for the assasination.

Rioting in the streets for a few days nothing more.

The good side to this is that it further enrages moderate muslims that extremists have done such a thing to even their own people. I'm sure it's changing a lot of opinions about jihadist muslims in Pakistan.

Conspiracy.

Probably on a certain level but I dont think it had to do with government itself.

Me either but i do think she faked her own death.

She'd really have to hate pakistan to do that.
