Bilawal won't 'take the risk'
[Pak Daily Times] President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
... husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in ...
has voted by post in Pakistain's landmark general election, a front man confirmed on the eve of polls which the Taliban have vowed to attack with jacket wallahs. "Yes he has cast his vote through a postal ballot," presidency front man Farhatullah Babar told AFP.

On the other hand the chairman of the outgoing Pakistain People's Party -- denied a postal ballot -- will not vote in Saturday's elections because of threats to his life, a senior party official said.

A senior PPP leader Taj Haider praised the election commission for allowing Bilawal's father, President Asif Ali Zardari, a postal ballot, but at the same time expressed sorrow that the same privilege had been denied to Bilawal. "We cannot take the risk that he physically casts his vote," Haider repeated. The precise whereabouts of Bilawal is unclear. The Taliban have directly threatened Zardari's Pakistain People's Party (PPP) and its main secular coalition partners, which the party says dramatically curtailed its ability to campaign in public.
