Pakistan remembers slain Bhutto on 55th anniversary

Islamabad - Supporters of Pakistan's slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on Saturday observed her 55th birthday in ceremonies across the country.

"Martyred Bhutto is still alive. Even today, she stands with me, with you," her widower Asif Ali Zardari told a press conference after laying flowers at her grave and reciting verses from the Koran in her home town of Noudero.

Bhutto was assassinated in a gun and suicide attack on December 27 during an election rally in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, near capital Islamabad.
