Pakistan in Three Days of Mourning

HeadlineDec 28, 2007

Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States, Mahmud Ali Durrani, said three days of mourning will take place.

Mahmud Ali Durrani: “This is a time of mourning for Pakistan, and I think the government of Pakistan has already announced a three-day mourning. I spoke to the president of Pakistan this morning before he went into his meeting, and he also expressed his shock and condemnation, and he says we strongly condemn this terrorist act.”

Pakistanis living in the United States expressed shock and sadness on Thursday over the death of Bhutto.

Hamid Ali: “It is a very sad moment, you know. I don’t know what is going on. And no one is safe in Pakistan right now. She was asking from a long time that she has a fear that she will be killed, and still it happened. And it is very sad.”
