YAHOO/AFP:

New Delhi has suspended two train services to Pakistan following violence in the wake of the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto, the railways ministry said.

Two trains were "cancelled on security considerations with immediate effect until further notice," the ministry said in a statement late Friday.

• IF AL QAEDA IS INDEED BEHIND THE BHUTTO ASSASSINATION THEN THE INDIA-PAKISTAN BORDER AND KASHMIR IS WHERE THERE COULD BE SOME DANGEROUS ADVENTURISM AND ESCALATION.

• AL QAEDA - WHICH THRIVES ON CHAOS AND EXPLOITING OLD HATREDS - WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE REGION DEVOLVE INTO CHAOS AND WAR.

• IN THIS SENSE, WE SHOULD SEE THE BHUTTO ASSASSINATION AS THE EQUIVALENT TO THE DESTRUCTION OF IRAQ'S GOLDEN MOSQUE.

LET'S HOPE THIS EFFORT FAILS.

NOTE: DOUBTING AL QAEDA'S ROLE IS - IMHO - A FORM OF MHS: MUSHARRAF DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
