It's such a shocking yet unsurprising tragedy. I haven't seen/read anything Bush has had to say on the matter, but the following is from our local paper - the only two quotes I suspect because of the time it happened was about the time the second run is printed.
Quote: A top Russian diplomat said the killing could trigger a wave of terror in the country. "An act of terror is a bad sign," Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov, Russia's top Asia diplomat, said.
"We hereby offer our condolences. This will for certain trigger a wave of terrorism."
US officials said they were "looking into" reports of Bhutto's death.
"It demonstrates that there are still those in Pakistan who want to subvert reconciliation and effort to advance democracy," deputy State Department spokesman Tom Casey said.
Call me cynical, but the Bush government saying they're looking into something means they're most likely planning to ignore it.
