Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated in a suicide attack.
Benazir Bhutto had been addressing rallies in many parts of Pakistan.
Ms Bhutto - the first woman PM in an Islamic state - was leaving an election rally in Rawalpindi when a gunman shot her in the neck and set off a bomb.
At least 16 other people died in the attack and several more were injured.
There are also reports that she might have been shot in the neck moments before the bomb hit.

So what will this mean for our world, this tragedy, in a region already unstable and fragile. I fear for our world. This will not bring peace to the region that is for sure.
