Bhutto has been trying to broker a power sharing deal with current President Pervez Musharraf. Musharraf won the Pakistan Election on October 6, 2007. However, most members of opposition parties abstained from the vote. Bhutto's motorcade was attacked by two - probably suicide - bombers. More then 100 people were killed.
