D-8 Extends Condolences to the Grief-Stricken Pakistan
Istanbul, Turkey | December 28, 2007 by
The former Pakistani prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, was killed yesterday in an attack on her campaign rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. She died when an attacker shot her and then blew himself up as she left her political campaign rally. Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf, has declared three days of national mourning and vowed to fight the terrorists behind her killing.
The assassination was the second suicide attack against her since her tumultuous homecoming from an eight-year exile in October 2007.
Bhutto will be buried near her father’s grave in the family’s ancestral village of Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Friday afternoon, and Bhutto’s husband and three children have arrived from Dubai to attend, as reported by the Associated Press.
Bhutto was born on June 21, 1953, in Karachi and educated at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and England’s Oxford University. Her political life began as her father’s ended.
Secretary General of D-8 Organization, Dipo Alam, was shocked and voiced sorrow over the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, saying that the organization is concerned for this unfortunate event, and hope that it will not effect the stability and progress of dynamic economic growth that this country and its people have been enjoying. Dipo believes that the role of Pakistan in D-8 cooperation is very important, where lately trade has been progressing significantly in the country.
