Eyewitness Farah Ispahani calls from the hospital

Got this e-mail from Farah Ispahani, a member of Benazir Bhutto's media team who was with Bhutto when the campaign was attacked after a rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Ispahani was running for a parliament seat as part of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party.

Ispahani gave a tearful report from the hospital where Bhutto died, and later sent us this message:

i am okay but they murdered bibi - people were so cynical about her. i knew her as a mother, as a freind and as a leader. she did not need to come to this country - she knew every minute of every day what she was facing. she really believed that pakistan was in peril.
