The British government has downgraded the warning to its citizens regarding travel to Pakistan in the wake of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. However, it still cautioned Britons about travel to northern Sindh and southern Punjab stating that only very essential travel to these parts should be undertaken. Further security-related advice included avoiding travel to Quetta and not using bus services in the whole of Baluchistan.
Although the violence in the aftermath of Benazir’s killing has largely subsided, security remains an issue because of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Pakistan.
