Asif Ali Zardari, Benazir's widower and political successor, said in a speech to the massive crowd outside the white marble building that he feared he would be assassinated like his late wife. “We will avenge Benazir Bhutto's martyrdom in a democratic way,” said Zardari.<b> “If I succeed, you will see me alive. If I am martyred like her, you will be the ones to take my coffin to the grave.” </b>Heavy security was in place for the rituals in the rural southern village of Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, where Benazir Bhutto was buried the day after her assassination on December 27. Hundreds of paramilitary troops and police stood guard, while walk-though scanners were set up to check the crowds flooding into the mausoleum to throw rose petals over her grave. Despite the warnings, and the bitter cold, many visitors including women and children stayed overnight in tents before rising at dawn to recite verses from the Holy Quran. People arrived on foot - some from towns hundreds of kilometres away - and others by trucks and buses. Many were listening to cassettes of Bhutto speeches. PPP provincial leader for Sindh province Nisar Khauro lamented what he called the government's “double standards” following reports that it was negotiating with those blamed for Benazir's killing. The PPP has said it will officially begin campaigning from Thursday for the polls. (First Posted @ 13:00 PST, Updated @ 14:20 PST)
