Voice of America interviews Xenia Dormandy on Pakistan's political future following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

"[Musharraf] doesn't have many choices today. He has just lost the one leading politician who was willing to work with him. She had legitimacy. She had support. But she appears to have been the only leader in Pakistan who did believe that," says Dormandy. "And Musharraf has just lost, potentially, his partner.This is quite tragic for him. Whether he can find a way to manage what is left is thus far unknown."
