...Bhutto might have survived the attempt on her life had proper security measures been in place, the report says; it places particular emphasis on Saud Aziz, the chief police officer on duty in Rawalpindi that day. Arrangements made by him were deemed "ineffective and insufficient." The security plan drawn up on Dec. 27, 2007, the day of her assassination, was "flawed" and in many respects not even implemented.

...Bulldogs seem to have found a way to contain Guruge, as she fell for the second time this season to Alia Aziz. Guruge appeared to have momentum on her side after taking the first game, 11-8, but Aziz knew her opponent too well. The next two games allowed Aziz to gain confidence, winning a nail-biter in the second, 13-11, and soundly defeating Guruge in the third, 11-6. Guruge decided to return the favor with an 11-8 win in the fourth game, setting up a critical fifth game. Aziz held...
