Shocked and Horror

I am shocked at the assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. It just occured to me that the world is no longer a safe haven and each day we hear and see news of extremist acts by people all over the world. Violence is becoming a part of our lives.

I was aware of the attempted attack on her when she first returned to her country after many years of self-imposed exile. That failed but I never expected another attempt was stage and this time, it has taken her life.

I was shocked as I read the news and watched the videos on CNN.com. I still find it hard to believe it happened and I wondered why. What’s worst, is that it occured at a time when the world is celebrating the festive season and the new year.

I can’t imagine how is it going to affect the world in the coming weeks.
