Disposing of the head of the ancien régime has become something of a tradition in Pakistani politics: General Zia-ul-Haq had Zulfikar Ali Bhutto hanged after taking power in a 1977 coup; Bhutto's daughter, Benazir, didn't have to bother since it was the plane crash that killed General Zia that allowed her to come to power in 1988.
