It's still a shock. I've been watching everything I can to find clues to what happened - did you see this?:

well I have seen little from the videos on pakistani and Arab media here also I checked some westen TV like CNN and BBC also CBS but I got the same senario after all, the terrorist shot here in the neck and the chest before he exploded and killed nearly 20 one of her accompanings!!
very large shock, this wasn't supposed to happen she should have been more protected by police especially that this isn't the first time she is attacked!!!

Harry Shearer had a good take on it:

Benazir Bhutto: One Night in Brentwood
It's not the job of political satirists, I've believed, to pal around with politicians. Only Mort Sahl, in my ken, has been able to do that kind of socializing without trading his teeth for a comfy set of gums. I have met two American presidents, and dozens of legislators, without feeling my emotions tugged at by anything resembling great warmth. Two leaders from elsewhere, however, did trigger something disturbingly close to admiration. One was Jose Ramos Horta, the Nobel Peace Prize winner from East Timor. The other was Benazir Bhutto ( ... )

I am not exactly sure what she stood for politically, and politics in the Islamic world are so different from the West, so it is even harder for me to understand who she really was as a politician, but I do respect her as a strong independent woman who made it to the top and was not afraid of taking chances. I hope Pakistan will not degrade now into a complete chaos, and I want to believe that those responsible for this barbaric attack will be brought to justice. This tragic event is definitely #1 assassination of 2007.
