December 28, 2007 (LPAC)--Chaos! "The British are going for an end game of Terrorism...It's the Empire," LaRouche said in discussions yesterday regarding the developing chaos in many parts of the world, as has recently developed in the wake of the assassination of Pakistani Peoples Party leader Benazir Bhutto. Already some 16 people have died in the widespread disturbances in Pakistan causing President Pervez Musharraf to order a "red alert" for the Pakistani armed forces.

The government of Prime Minister Mohammedmian Soomro is at this time still intending to allow the Jan 8 parliamentary elections go ahead, saying today: "Right now the elections stand where they were. We will consult all the political parties to take any decision about it."

But the elections are in doubt. Not only is the PPP without its leader, but the second opposition leader, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, has announced that his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party will boycott the elections. He called Bhutto's death the result of "state terrorism," and called for a national strike today, and the resignation of Musharraf. Yesterday, Sharif warned that elections could destroy Pakistan. "If the government is adamant about holding elections on January 8, it is going on a self-destructive path which will not only destroy the government itself but will also destroy the country," Sharif said.

Bhutto today was buried beside her father, the former Prime Minister was hanged after a military coup, in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh in Sind province, her home.

Chaos has reigned in Pakistan in recent weeks. Since July, there have been over 600 deaths in bombings. At an election rally of Sharif's own party yesterday in Islamabad, four people were killed and 12 wounded by gunfire. Sharif himself was not hit, since he was underway to neighboring Rawalpindi, where Bhutto was killed. Today, a roadside bomb killed four members of the ruling Pakistani Muslim League-Quaid party. On Dec. 21, over 50 people were killed by a suicide bomber in the village of former Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao, who is a close ally of President Musharraf and anti-Muslim extremism.

The Pakistani paramilitary forces, the Rangers, have been given "shoot on sight" orders to kill against rioters. Demonstrators have raided banks and railway stations and trains, and are stoning police. Rail service has been suspended in Sind province due to the riots.
