[01] KKE on Bhutto assassinationThe Communist Party of Greece (KKE) on Friday joined the country's other political forces in condemning Thursday's assassination of Pakistani ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto.In a press release, the communist party first declares its complete solidarity with the long-suffering Pakistani people, noting that the attack should not serve as an alibi for any new "witch hunt" against migrants and refugees living in Greece, particularly ones from Pakistan. Finally, the party called on the Greek government to "disengage" the country from "imperialistic designs and operations, such as in Afghanistan, Lebanon and elsewhere."
