Bhutto death may trigger terror

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The killing of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto on Thursday could trigger a wave of terror in the country, a top Russian diplomat was quoted as saying.

"An act of terror is a bad sign," Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov, Russia's most senior Asia diplomat, told Itar-Tass news agency. "We hereby offer our condolences. This will for certain trigger a wave of terrorism."
