    That's not good. BBC say a military spokesperson has claimed it, but they're waiting for confirmation.

    CNN are reporting her husband saying she was shot in the neck, not killed by the bomb.
    BBC say there are contradictory statements from her party, with some saying she's been killed, others saying she's been badly injured.

    She was never going to survive long in that crazy country. This will inspire the likes of Al Qaeda and other Islamic groups to up the ante in Pakistan.

    Chill out dude!! Not sure your fears are justified. I mean do you think they will nuke half the world because she's dead??!! The opposition (of which she was part) don't have access to Nukes!!!! It's her political enemies who do. Are you saying they will take out their anger by blowing up the world because one of their rivals is out of the way???!!!
    It's a long road so play the long game!

    Its nothing to do with Islam. There are plenty of peaceful Islamic countries.
