GARHI KHUDA BAKHSH, Pakistan – More than 150,000 Pakistanis flocked to the mausoleum of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Saturday after some walked hundreds of miles (kilometers) to offer flowers and kiss her grave on the first anniversary of her assassination.

Some mourners beat their heads and chests and wailed. Several burst into tears.

"I am taking these flowers to take home and will show my daughters this gift," said 41-year-old Saifullah Khan.

Bhutto was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack on Dec. 27, 2007, as she was leaving a rally in the garrison town of Rawalpindi, just outside the capital of Islamabad.
