Sad to say, but I believed something like this would happen upon former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's return to Pakistan. Women rulers are viewed as anathema to Islamic extremists. What appears to have been an assassination attempt instead killed 126 people; the people behind the bombings would have viewed the attack a success if one more person died: Bhutto.
Let's hope that there are some protest marches against these types of attacks in the Muslim world in the next few days. It probably won't happen, but I wouldn't mind being surprised.
