Benazir

Last month, a United Nations inquiry into the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto -- who died from wounds suffered during a gun and bomb attack at a political rally in the city of Rawalpindi on 27 December 2007 -- presented its findings to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Photographer John Moore caught Benazir pensive at the rally and leaving the rally, at the final moment of her life.




Spore Sprout used to take a keen interest in the career of Benazir Bhutto on account of the schools they went to.  Ever since she met her horrific end, he has sometimes wondered, when paying respects to the dead, what it would take for him to face a similarly fateful moment with some measure of equanimity.

Of all the things that occurred to him ... this: that his cause be just.
