Pence Statement on Assassination of Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto

Contact: Matt Lloyd, Congressman Mike Pence, 202-226-4379

 

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, the ranking Republican on the Middle East and South Asia Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto:
                                     
"The assassination of Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is a global tragedy. Mrs. Bhutto was martyred for her commitment to democracy and those responsible must be held accountable. Her death is a grim reminder of the barbaric nature of the enemy we face in the global war on terror.

"The people of the United States will mourn the passing of this courageous woman along with the people of our ally Pakistan. Pakistan has been our steady ally in the struggle against extremism in the region. President Musharraf should now take steps to ensure that Pakistan's return to free and fair elections goes forward without delay.

"Extremism must not be allowed to defeat democracy in Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto must not have died in vain."
