it was just reported that Benazir Bhutto infact has now passed away.
A suspected suicide attack at a rally of Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has left at least 15 people dead, police say. A PPP spokesman has told the BBC that Ms Bhutto was injured. It is not clear how badly. She had just addressed the rally in the town of Rawalpindi. National and provincial assembly elections are due on 8 January. In October some 130 people were killed in an attack on Ms Bhutto's cavalcade when she returned to the country. It was one of the worst incidents of violence in a year of deteriorating security in Pakistan.

PPP spokesman Farahtullah Babar said Ms Bhutto was only some 50 metres away when the bomb exploded, the Associated Press news agency reports. "She had just crossed the gate when we heard a deafening sound." Mr Babar said that Ms Bhutto was safe, but subsequently PPP party members have said that Ms Bhutto was injured in the blast and taken to hospital.
