Thousands have gathered at the family mausoleum for the burial of recently assasinated President Bhutto. Here are a few reasons why this may have occurred :-

Bhutto Family Mausoleum where former Prime Minister Bhutto will be laid to rest.

• Her father lost East Pakistan to India in the Indo-Pakistan war
• She has been elected twice previously as Prime minister and deposed both times on charges of corruption. These charges have not been substantiated and in a country where corruption is blatant, everyone is on the take.
• Liberal views and modern attitudes posed a threat to President Pervez Musharraf and the terrorist element (Taliban, Al Qaeda… whoever you like)
• Military opposition to democracy because of financial fallout, if democracy became a reality. Can’t steel as much of the peoples money if they are the ones paying your sallary. Well not without making up projects anyway
• Her opposition Nawaz Sharif and his links to Osama Bin Laden. Large sums of money have been received by Sharif from Osama bin laden. Although the same can be said for George Bush. The assasination has been claimed by an al qeaeda group apparently
• Her attempts to reduce corruption didn’t go down well with the local powers. She provided on several occasions evidence to support this but the more you look, the more this doesn’t mean anything.
• Hipocrisy the French, Polish, Spanish and Swiss governments have provided documentary evidence to the Pakistan government of alleged corruption by Bhutto and her husband. Bhutto and her husband faced a number of legal proceedings, including a charge of laundering money through Swiss banks. Her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, spent eight years in prison on similar corruption charges. Zardari, released from jail in 2004, has suggested that his time in prison involved torture; human rights groups have supported his claim that his rights were violated.

Essentially it was her public persona that got her killed. She appeared to be a good person but was the same as all the rest making her millions but possibly trying to improve the country also.
