India: Bhutto Assassinated

Well, we landed in Delhi and got past immigration to find out on CNN in the airport that Benazir Bhutto, opposition leader in Pakistan, had been assassinated.

For the geopolitically challenged, Pakistan borders India, and they have both shared a relatively difficult relationship. We were probably about 200 miles from the border, so not really s safety concern. But when I saw the news, I did think, "Crap, my parents are going to freak."
