Rest in Peace Benazir Bhutto

Copied from my Facebook note (27/12/2007):

Today we mourn the loss of a great woman and role model, Benazir Bhutto, born June 21, 1953, assassinated this day, December 27, 2007.

At only 35 years old, Benazir Bhutto became one of the youngest chief executives in the world and the first female prime minister of an Islamic country. Her main priorities included bringing education, basic amenities, health care, housing, and food to the people of Pakistan (beginning with the rural poor).

A very condensed biography of this remarkable woman:

Peace be with you, amira.
