Deadly blasts near Bhutto convoy


At least 30 people are reported killed and 60 wounded after two bombs hit crowds greeting returning Pakistani ex-PM Benazir Bhutto.

Ms Bhutto was being driven in a convoy through crowded streets from Karachi airport to a rally to mark her homecoming after eight years in exile.

Hundreds of thousands of people had turned out to greet the former PM, amid a huge security presence.

Several Islamist groups including pro-Taleban militants have made threats against Ms Bhutto.

The motorcade is now said to be at a standstill, and police have cordoned off the scene of the blasts.

Close call, not that unexpected but very worrying.

In a way it might help her cause. I think it will be bad for the Islamists, especially since it's failed, might give Musharraff another excuse to hold off on elections though.
 
Has anyone taken responsibilty for this yet?
 
It's just a matter of time before the Tailban islamotards kill her.
 
Idiotic waste. Over two dozen people dead and for what?
This isn't an act of war, it's an act of stupidity and political retardation.

These people are truly savages.

I have to disagree, they don’t have the balls to stand against the extremists retards. The people who support her better be prepared to die because the extremists retards have more then enough morons willing to blow them selves up.

They died for Allah.
Its about dying for your beliefs.
Unless her supporters are willing to die they will win. It seems to be the only currency these a$$wipes have and it works, Kill those in your way and who disagree with you.
One has to be willing to hunt these people down and kill them, not talk them to death.
Sooner or later you’ll reach a point where you’re killing them faster then they can recruit or reproduce.
 
....Bhutto is blaming...Al Qaeda.....has Al Qaeda taken responsibility for it?

Im not sure, if they are responsible they usually claim responsibilty.

So your attack is nothing more the flame bait? Why am I not surprised?

And I expect you to defend redneck vets who break the law.

Adding : I also expect you turn into a bleeding heart conservative the moment a little white kid in nowheres ville America gets murdered. All of this while ignoring all of the black, hispanic and asian girls who get murdered on the same day. If the hood fits. Wear it.
