    Bhutto rap tribute

    The elder daughter of Pakistan's assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto has written a rap song expressing her anguish over her mother's death.

    According to Reuters news agency, the song, "I Would Take the Pain Away," and a five-minute video of clips and photographs of Mrs. Bhutto have been broadcast on state-run Pakistani television and posted on the video-sharing Web site YouTube.

    "My mother was murdered. I don't even comprehend. Was it worth dying for? I'm walking through screened doors," Bakhtawar Bhutto, 18, sings in English on the lilting hip-hop song.

    "No comfort or ease. I'm begging you please God bless the deceased," Miss Bhutto sings.

    Information Minister Sherry Rehman, for years an aide to the slain Mrs. Bhutto, said the daughter, a student at Britain's Edinburgh University, wrote the lyrics and music.

    "It's a tribute of a grieving daughter to her iconic and loving mother," Miss Rehman told Reuters on Monday.

    Music is a hobby for young Miss Bhutto, and she has no plan to pursue it as a career, Miss Rehman said.

    Mrs. Bhutto, 54, was murdered in a suicide gun-and-bomb attack in the city of Rawalpindi in December 2007. The government, then led by former president Pervez Musharraf, blamed the attack on Islamist militants.

    Mrs. Bhutto's widower and Bakhtawar Bhutto's father, Asif Ali Zardari, become president in September.
