Bhutto Laid to Rest

»  Comments | Post a Comment

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - The funeral procession is under way
for slain Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, even as her
supporters continue to protest and clash with police.
Footage on Pakistani television networks shows her plain wood
coffin being carried by supporters in her hometown.
Thousands of mourners have gathered at the mausoleum where she
will be interred.
Even before the procession began today, Bhutto's supporters
rampaged through cities to protest her assassination less than two
weeks before a crucial election. Protesters ransacked banks, and a
gas station as well as torching train stations.
At least 10 people have been killed in rioting.
The killing of President Pervez Musharraf's most powerful
political opponent has plunged Pakistan into turmoil and badly
damaged plans to restore democracy in the nuclear-armed U.S. ally.
