Death of a leader

Minhaj Ahmed, Uttara, Dhaka
Today we mourn the sudden and tragic death of the former prime minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. This is a tragic loss not only for the people of Pakistan but also for the people who loved and respected her dearly. She was, of course, a brave woman, a charismatic leader and an affectionate mother of three children. This wanton crime was an act of cowardice and those involved should definitely be brought to justice. What is happening in Pakistan in recent times is an alarming sign to the security of this nation. Pakistan has become a haven for the fundamentalists. And stringent measures have to be taken against those who are a threat to the establishment of democracy in Pakistan. We express sympathy for the bereaved family of Benazir Bhutto. It was a cowardly act, to say the least.
