RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, 28 December 2007 — Pakistani opposition leader and former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun-and-suicide attack yesterday at an election rally in a Rawalpindi park plunging the country into turmoil less than two weeks before national elections.
Benazir, 54, had just addressed an election rally at Liaquat Bagh (Garden) when a bomber shot her in the neck and blew himself up, killing at least 20 people and injuring scores of others. Hours later riots erupted across the country.
