...before a suicide bomber detonated himself seconds later. But by Saturday, the government reversed track. Bhutto had been shot at, said Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema, but the shooter missed. The force of the explosion knocked Bhutto, who had been waving at the crowds from her vehicle's sunroof, backwards. She hit her head on a protruding lever, and succumbed to the fractures to her skull. Cheema presented X rays to support his claim, but witnesses and close friends who rushed Bhutto to the hospital say that there was no doubt she had been shot...

But he is at the center of an escalating crisis that threatens to destabilize Pakistan's military dictatorship. On Saturday, the Chief Justice, who was suspended by President-General Pervez Musharraf nearly three months ago for alleged misconduct, left his home in Islamabad...
...driver slams the brakes. A Kalashnikov-wielding Iraqi sentry pops out the sunroof of a convoy of black Explorers speeding past us. He makes angry eye contact, shouts an order and waves us to the side of the road. It?s the kind of adrenaline-soaked exchange that is routine in downtown Baghdad, where militia, police and security details bristling with weapons slalom through traffic with impunity...
