Benazir Bhutto buried, as Pakistan continues to boil

Benazir Bhutto was buried at his family graveyard in Larkana. Thousands of people have been gathered at the venue to bid farewell to the departing leader. Bhutto's husband, children and other relatives and friends were present on the burial site.

People burst into tears when Benazir Bhutto's last rites were performed. Thousands of grieving mourners packed the streets around Larkana, when Benazir's coffin was driven through the town towards the mausoleum where she was buried.

Violence continued unabated in several parts of Pakistan. A roadside bomb killed a local leader of the ruling party and three of his associates in northwestern Pakistan. In another development, police resorted to fire in Hyderabad to control the mob. At least three people were injured in the incident. According to unofficial sources, at least 10 people have been killed so far in the violence that followed Bhutto's assassination.
