Presidential assassination attempt.

Aside from the repercussions prior to the elections and going forward, I wonder if Pakistan or Australia are going to get cold feet or use this as an excuse to back out of the tour?

Pakistan shouldn't get cold feet.

Those matches are at this stage still going ahead, despite ongoing discussions between Cricket Australia and government officials after an explosion at a political rally in Bulawayo on Saturday and increased political tensions.

As you said Pakistan probably will come as they have been through worse. The situation is calm though as I believe these guys are trying as hard as possible to have a quiet election so that they can unlock more funds to loot. They also have the UK on their side so I think peace can be maintained.
I was at HSC over the weekend. The grounds are getting prepared for action. June 28 will be a big day for the future of our cricket as the ICC decision on the suspension might be made(well at least behind closed doors) then as well as the 2 big guns arriving. Very tense moments im sure for people in the organization who are not the star players.
