French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchnerissued a statement condemning what he called "this odious act" and reaffirming "France's commitment to the stability of Pakistan and its democracy."
Italian Premier Romano Prodisaid Bhutto was "a woman who chose to fight her battle until the end with a single weapon—the one of dialogue and political debate. The difficult path toward peace and democracy in that region must not be stopped, and Bhutto's sacrifice will serve as the strongest example for those who do not surrender to terrorism."
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseinisaid, "We hope the Pakistani government will identify and bring to justice those behind such a criminal act and restore tranquility to the country."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamyninadded, "We strongly condemn this terrorist act, present our condolences to the family and friends of Benazir Bhutto and hope that Pakistani authorities will provide for national stability."
On the busy campaign trail in the United States, the presidential candidates weighed in on the situation. Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giulianicalled the killing "a tragic event for Pakistan and for democracy in Pakistan. Her murderers must be brought to justice, and Pakistan must continue on the path back to democracy and the rule of law. Her death is a reminder that terrorism anywhere—whether in New York, London, Tel Aviv or Rawalpindi—is an enemy of freedom."
Sen. Hillary Clintonadded, "I have known Benazir Bhutto for a dozen years, and I knew her as a leader. I knew her as someone willing to take risks. I hope that if there is any opportunity for the government and people of Pakistan to respond to this tragedy appropriately, it would be to move more steadfastly and determinately toward democracy. She has given her life for that hope, and I know that the people of our country stand in solidarity with those who believe as we do in the rights of people to be heard at the ballot box."
