THE assassination of the Muslim world’s first female prime minister Benazir Bhutto still has millions mourning. Dec 27, 2007, was a terrible day for the entire nation — two bomb blasts at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi with more than 180 dead. When we first heard the news, she was still alive or so we thought.

Ms Bhutto was the country’s youngest PM who served the office twice. She had good leadership qualities like her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Eleven years have passed and no arrests have been made. When will justice be served to the people who loved and respected her?

Ms Bhutto will forever remain in our hearts and memories for her great services to the nation.
