Benazir Bhutto killed in a sniper attack, five bullets were fired on her
"Rawalpindi, Dec.27 (ANI): Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, 54, was shot at and killed by at least two snipers before a suicide bomb attack on the periphery of her carcade.
Police confirmed that the snipers fired five bullets from AK-47 assault rifles. Two of the bullets hit Benazir in the neck, while a third hit her forehead. No one was near her car when the shots were fired at her.
According to some unconfirmed reports, she was scheduled to meet Musharraf on Thursday evening after addressing the rally.
Rawalpindi, a garrison city, is seen as one of the country’s most secure cities, making the attack on Benazir even more embarrassing for President Pervez Musharraf and the military authorities.
Interior ministry spokesman Javed Cheema, was quoted as saying that she may have been killed by pellets packed into the suicide bomber’s vest, but a PPP security adviser said she was shot in the neck and chest as she got into her vehicle, before one of the gunmen blew himself up."
