Pakistan’n Bhutto Assasinated
Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has been shot dead after a political rally.
Ms Bhutto, 54, died in hospital after being shot in the neck and chest.
"She has been martyred," said party official Rehman Malik.
The assassin struck moments after Ms Bhutto addressed crowds of supporters in the city of Rawalpindi.
She left the podium flanked by men in suits and stepped into an armoured car but as the vehicle made its way through the crowds, Ms Bhutto appeared through the roof to wave to supporters.
Moments later the attacker opened fire, shooting her in the neck and chest before blowing himself up.
Police officer Mohammad Shahid said: "The man first fired at Bhutto's vehicle. She ducked and then he blew himself up."
At least 16 other people were killed in the blast.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said her assassination was the work of terrorists and he called on the people for their support as he declared three days of mourning.
"This cruelty is the work of those terrorists with whom we are fighting," Musharraf said in a brief televised address.
"The biggest threat to Pakistan and this nation is from these terrorists. I seek unity and support from the nation. We will not sit and rest until we get rid of these terrorists, root them out."
Opposition groups warned that the killing could spark civil war in the nuclear armed nation.
