Pakistan plans to postpone next week's election after Benazir Bhutto's killing sparked turmoil in the nuclear-armed country, but officials put off a final announcement until today to consult parties.
Election Commission official Kanwar Dilshad told reporters yesterday that "in principle" the election was being delayed from January 8 and a new date would be announced today.
