KARACHI, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A suspected suicide bomber killed at least 123 people on Friday in an attack on former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto as she was driven through Karachi to greet supporters on her return from eight years in exile.

Bhutto was unhurt in one of the deadliest attacks in her country?s history. She was quickly escorted away from the truck that had been carrying her through streets crowded with hundreds of thousands of wellwishers.

?Ms Bhutto is safe and she has been taken to her residence,? said Azhar Farooqui, Karachi police chief, after two explosions in quick succession rocked Bhutto?s motorcade.

There was no claim of responsibility. Militants linked to al Qaeda, angered by Bhutto?s support for the U.S. war on terrorism, had this week threatened to assassinate her.

Dr Ejaz Ahmed, a police surgeon, told Reuters 84 dead had been brought to three hospitals. A doctor at another hospital said 39 bodies were lying there.

Police chief Farooqui said 260 people were wounded.

I have an idea as to why they tried to kill her, meaning the Prime Minister of course.

Why? Because she is a woman, or because

Indeed. The majority of ex afghani taliban leadership now reside in the northern mountainous region of pakistan near the afghani border. I can imagine despising the idea of a female prime minister of pakistan...

She was as corrupt as her husband was (VERY corrupt) and the Indo-Pak conflict saw some of it's bloodiest days under her rule. At least Musharraf pretends to care.

Sympathy 0
Disappointment 1
