Pakistan election delayed after Bhutto killing shift to February
A senior Election Commission official said Pakistan’s polls will be moved about a month, likely to the second week of February, due to rioting damage in Sindh and security concerns during Muharram. Opposition leaders warned of street protests if delayed. Bhutto’s party accuses Musharraf allies of delaying to blunt sympathy gains.
