Again it occurred killing of former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto. It began with the fatal shooting of Mahatma Gandhi at a prayer meeting in the very heart of Delhi.Pakistan's first prime minister, Liaqat Ali Khan, was shot twice in the chest while attending a public meeting.Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa was killed by a Tamil Tiger suicide bomber.Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was gunned down by two of her Sikh bodyguards and her son and successor Rajiv Gandhi died when a LTTE woman suicide bomber blew up at an election rally he was about to address. Nepal's King Birendra, his wife and several family members were killed when Crown Prince Dipendra opened fire at them during a family get-together before killing himself. This may continue and also I afraid to know who is the next target.

Hi,
That is bitter part, may more or corruptions and the political structure here might create this as the money is in bad hands and the justice is sold. As this increases the injustice arises more and more and this became to more terrorist attacks. Some time mismanagement of a country too.

The latest news is that the Al-Quaeda have taken responsibilty for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. I don't know how far that is true. Any politician or leader who tries to do good is assissinated before they can even start. With the elections in Pakistan due in a week, this was just waiting to happen! I feel so sorry for what has happened. And like you said, who is going to be the next target?
