PPP leader shot dead
Unidentified gunmen shot dead Pakistan Peopleâs Party (PPP) leader Munawar Suharwardy, a former bodyguard of PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto, near Gurumandir in front of a local newspaperâs office on Thursday. Mr Suharwardy, PPPâs Sindh chapter information secretary, was parking his car when the assailants fired at him from close range, injuring him seriously. One bullet hit Mr Suharwardy above his elbow and the other ripped through his ribs. The assailants fled in a white Suzuki Alto car. Passers-by took Mr Suharwardy to Aga Khan Hospital but he died in the operation theatre. Mr Suharwardy, 44, was third in line of four brothers. His brother Farooq Suharwardy was shot at in 1994 and has since been in a coma.Posted by: Fred 2004-06-17 |
