I guess it all boils down to who, or what faction stands to gain the most from such an attack. The fundamentalists will never be satisfied with a woman in charge, while President Musharraf probably would not like to share power with someone so opposed to his dictatorship. I propose that the assasination attempt, if that is what it was meant to be, was a cooperative venture between both these factions. (It is my belief that Musharraf is double-dealing the United States in any case-playing both sides against the middle.)

What a conumdrum-a true Gotterdamerung of Islamic making.
