Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani prime minister,
has been killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack at an
election rally in the city of Rawalpindi.
At least 16 others were also killed in the attack with
another report saying at least 20 bodies were seen at
the rally site after the explosion.
"At 6:16 p.m. she expired," said Wasif Ali Khan, a
member of Bhutto's party, present at Rawalpindi
General Hospital.
Police said a suicide bomber fired at Bhutto as she
was leaving the rally venue in a park before blowing
himself up.
"The man first fired at Bhutto's vehicle. She ducked
and then he blew himself up," said Mohammad Shahid a
police officer.
Al Jazeera's Sohail Rahman reporting from Islamabad
said several hundred people had attended the rally.
Hospital anguish
Her supporters at the hospital began chanting "Dog,
Musharraf, dog," referring to Pakistan's president,
Pervez Musharraf.
Some of them smashed the glass door at the main
entrance of the emergency unit, others burst into
tears.
Bhutto had served twice as Pakistani prime minister
between 1988 and 1996.
She had returned to Pakistan from an eight-year exile
on October 18.
Her homecoming parade in Karachi was also targeted by
a suicide attacker, killing more than 140 people.
On that occasion she narrowly escaped injury.
Earlier on Thursday, four people were shot dead and
three wounded at an election rally of Nawaz Sharif,
another former prime minister.
Sharif blamed supporters of the party that backs
Musharraf.
The attacks are the worst directly related to the
January 8 polls since campaigning intensified in
mid-December.
