Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated in a suicide attack.
Ms Bhutto had just addressed an election rally in Rawalpindi when she was shot in the neck by a gunman who then set off a bomb.
At least 15 other people died in the attack and several more were injured.

What does this say to public officials? That it is now open season for graft and corruption. Or that at the very highest levels of officialdom, one can expect leniency for the most heinous crimes.
Ms Arroyo’s final reason for the grant of clemency only shows how quickly she had run out of rationalizations for her grave abuse of this presidential prerogative. Estrada’s promise not to seek public office does not diminish the gravity of his crime against the Filipino people or prove that he is a changed man. It is only reassuring to a regime that is insecure about its legitimacy and stability.

One of the features in Opera that I like is the customizable sidebar/panel. It's easy to set-up new panel content providers, unlike in other browsers where you may need to install add-ons, and loads faster. With small screen rendering, you can basically add most sites to your panel. It is a nice complement to the built-in RSS reader for staying informed about the news. Wednesday, 24.

Suspended Catholic cleric has Vatican gay listThis isn't really a surprise. Only the densest of papists would believe that the Vatican is homosexual-free. The church should come out and admit it, and embrace their gay brethren. It's not wrong to be a homosexual, it's the bible and two thousand years of sexual repression that are wrong.
ROME -- A high profile Vatican cleric suspended after he was shown on television making advances to a young man allegedly had a list of homosexual priests and bishops in the Roman Catholic Church's governing body, Italy's Panorama weekly reported Friday.
Father Tommaso Stenico, 60, had "a detailed dossier" of all the homosexual clerics at Vatican "with a list of names and circumstances implicating a certain number of priests and even bishops working at the Curia," Ignazio Ingrao, reporter for the conservative news weekly said.
Stenico also sent his superior Cardinal Claudio Hummes a report denouncing the moral degradation within the Curia, which could make the Vatican "tremble," Ingrao said.

Shock at archbishop condom claim
The head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique has told the BBC he believes some European-made condoms are infected with HIV deliberately.
Maputo Archbishop Francisco Chimoio claimed some anti-retroviral drugs were also infected "in order to finish quickly the African people".
The Catholic Church formally opposes any use of condoms, advising fidelity within marriage or sexual abstinence.
Aids activists have been angered by the remarks, one calling them "nonsense".
"We've been using condoms for years now, and we still find them safe," prominent Mozambican Aids activist Marcella Mahanjane told the BBC.

Bible drawn into Hong Kong sex publication rowSex and violence in the good book? Say it ain't so! If the HK authorities do end up classifying the bible as "indecent", then might I suggest this warning sticker:
HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 800 Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as "indecent" due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in a university student journal.
A spokesperson for Hong Kong's Television and Entertainment Licensing authority (TELA) said it had received 838 complaints about the Bible by noon on Wednesday.
The complaints follow the launch of an anonymous Web site -- www.truthbible.net -- which said the holy book "made one tremble" given its sexual and violent content, including rape and incest.
