The oldest daughter of Pakistan's assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a combination of gunfire and suicide bombing at a rally last year, has written and recorded a rap-infused song expressing the pain over her mother's death. The album, "I Would Take the Pain Away," and a five-minute video of clips and photographs of Benazir Bhutto has made its way to YouTube. Lyrics include:
My mother was murdered.

Brave Pakistanis ignored fears of polling place violence, and quelled suspicions of possible election rigging, and turned out to vote yesterday.
Total turn out was low, but as you can see in these pictures, steadfast. In Peshawar, Islamic militants stopped many women from voting. 
A suicide bomber crashed his car into a campaign rally today in the tribal areas of Pakistan, killing 37 and injuring 90. This attack comes just two days before the country is set to hold parliamentary elections, and was evidently conceived to deter voter turnout. Despite this sad event, the country is still in excited preparations for the elections.
