The entire Bhutto family has been murdered

[CatWoman]

The father, the sons, the daughter.

And what of Ms. Bhutto's children?

Anyone know anything about them? I can't find anything in the news and on the blogs.

1. They're still alive...at the moment.

I hope they stay away from that country for their own sake.

Bhutto's daughters Bakhtawar, 17, and Asifa, 14, are studying in Dubai, while her 19-year-old son Bilawal is enrolled at Oxford.

Bilal is on an Eid break and was to return to London next week to resume his studies. Just 10 days ago, Bhutto and Zardari celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary

4. So sad. I wondered about the safety of the husband and children coming to the funeral.

This whole thing makes me so incredibly sad. Also angry. And also, it leaves me feeling paralyzed and terribly frustrated with the entire planet.

Her husband and children will continue to live in Dubai, I am sure the ruling families will look after their safety.

Her children are so young and now they have no mother :-(

12. One sister is alive

She was never interested in politics. Her brothers' kids are also alive. One hated her guts. Disturbed posted a link with an article written by one of them.

Add.

13. To make things even more Shakespearean...

The niece believes that Benazir Bhutto had killed her own brother. She made this allegation about the late Ms. Bhutto in an op-ed that appeared in the LA Times:

Why did Ms. Bhutto and her party cronies demand that her corruption cases be dropped, but not demand that the cases of activists jailed during the brutal regime of dictator Zia ul-Haq (from 1977 to 1988) not be quashed? What about the sanctity of the law? When her brother Mir Murtaza Bhutto -- my father -- returned to Pakistan in 1993, he faced 99 cases against him that had been brought by Zia's military government. The cases all carried the death penalty. Yet even though his sister was serving as prime minister, he did not ask her to drop the cases. He returned, was arrested at the airport and spent the remaining years of his life clearing his name, legally and with confidence, in the courts of Pakistan.

Ms. Bhutto's repeated promises to end fundamentalism and terrorism in Pakistan strain credulity because, after all, the Taliban government that ran Afghanistan was recognized by Pakistan under her last government -- making Pakistan one of only three governments in the world to do so.

And I am suspicious of her talk of ensuring peace. My father was a member of Parliament and a vocal critic of his sister's politics. He was killed outside our home in 1996 in a carefully planned police assassination while she was prime minister. There were 70 to 100 policemen at the scene, all the streetlights had been shut off and the roads were cordoned off. Six men were killed with my father. They were shot at point-blank range, suffered multiple bullet wounds and were left to bleed on the streets.

My father was Benazir's younger brother. To this day, her role in his assassination has never been adequately answered, although the tribunal convened after his death under the leadership of three respected judges concluded that it could not have taken place without approval from a "much higher" political authority.

18. This is courage.

This family, to me, represents authentic courage--so much more than I could ever have. What an amazing woman this was. What a horrible day yesterday was.

[ShaneGR]

19. Just to be clear, Bhutto's father was executed after a trial

Though some would argue the trial was a farce. He wasn't exactly the cleanest leader out there. Lots and lots of corruption while he was in power.

[CatWoman]

20. yeah

I heard Saddam's trial was on the up and up, too.

21. Fair and square by BushCo standards

Wait 'til its their turn.
