Qayyam passed out, waking up later at Rawalpindi General Hospital, the same hospital where Bhutto had been taken for emergency surgery.
Outside the operating room, a group of PPP leaders joined hands and prayed. "Please, God, let our leader be okay," they said. "Please, God, let her survive this."
After about 40 minutes, Awan saw a doctor, Muhammad Mussadiq Khan, who told him the surgery was still going on. Somehow, Awan didn't believe it.
"Put me straight," he said.
The doctor repeated what he'd said.
"That's not true," Awan said. "Put me straight."
Then the doctor delivered the news that, within minutes, would reach around the globe.
"It's all over. We did everything we could. She didn't make it," he said. "Benazir Bhutto has expired."
