Islamic Suicide Bombers Attempt to Kill Bhutto

Although Benazir Bhutto was hurt, at least 50 of her supporters were killed by a massive explosions as her caravan traveled through Karachi. I guess she wasn't properly dress in a head-to-toe burqua and the perpertually perturbed religion of peace had to act to keep this woman in her place.

Two bombs went off Thursday night near a truck carrying former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on her triumphant return to Pakistan after eight years in exile, killing at least 51 people and wounding 150, an official said. Party workers and police said Bhutto was unhurt.

Bhutto recently courted controversy in Pakistan by

 saying that she would cooperate with the American military in targeting Osama bin Laden, and authorities warned that Islamic militants could launch suicide attacks and roadside bombings against her.

Asked about such threats on Wednesday in Dubai, Bhutto said Islam forbids suicide bombings and attacks on her. "Muslims know if they attack a woman they will burn in hell," she said.

The government of Sindh province, of which Karachi is the capital, had appealed to Bhutto to abandon plans for a snail-paced grand procession through Karachi, saying it would leave her vulnerable. The government said the main threat was from Taliban and al-Qaida.
