The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Fmr. Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today during a
political rally less than two weeks before the country's parliamentary
elections. We'll bring you reaction from Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) and analysis
from NBC's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell.
What does this mean for the future of the region? Newsweek's Lally Weymoth and
MSNBC's Pat Buchanan will offer their thoughts.
Bhutto returned from exile in October to lead the opposition against Pakistani
Prime Minister Pervez Musharraf despite threats against her life. Tune in to
hear what Bhutto told NBC's Ann Curry about why she decided to return.
We'll also bring you Chris Matthews' interview with Bhutto from 2003, where the
former Prime minister talked about her hopes for Pakistan.
Buchanan and Mitchell will then be joined by the Politico's Roger Simon in our
Politics Fix.
