BBC: Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, has won Pakistan's presidential election, election officials say.
The election was called after Pervez Musharraf resigned rather than risk being impeached.
Mr Zardari faces an Islamist insurgency and economic problems that are threatening Pakistan's stability.
Meanwhile a bomb has killed at least 12 people near the city of Peshawar and injured many more. Bhutto’s Widower Wins Presidency >>> September 6, 2008
