According to Daily Times, an Islamist “fanatic” shot dead the Social Welfare Minister of Punjab province, Zile Huma Usman, in an open court in her hometown of Gujranwala on February 20. Police said Muhammad Sarwar shot dead the minister during a brief power cut during the open court at Pakistan Muslim League House. Police arrested Sarwar immediately after the shooting and later said he was a religious fanatic opposed to women being independent, and had been implicated in four murders and two attempted murders in Gujranwala. “He considers it contrary to the teachings of Allah for a woman to become a minister or a ruler. That’s why he committed this action,” the police said in a statement. Punjab province Law Minister Raja Basharat said “He (Sarwar) is basically a fanatic.” The minister had reportedly been the target of several death threats since she had tried to organise a “mini-marathon” for men and women in Gujranwala in 2005. The race was attacked by Islamist extremists who consider it un-Islamic for men and women to run together. She was also attempting to organise another marathon in Gujranwala in late March 2006, and had again received death threats. “He killed her because she was not observing the Islamic code of dress. She was also campaigning for emancipation of women,” local police officer Nazir Ahmad told AFP.

Two rockets exploded in different areas of Quetta on March 22 night while the Quetta-Sibi train link was severed after insurgents blew up the main railway line, reports Dawn. The first rocket exploded on the roof of one of the studios of the Quetta station of Radio Pakistan at around 9:20 pm. Minutes later, another rocket hit the house that belongs to Tahir Mohammad Khan, a former federal minister and chairperson of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, near the Balochistan High Court building on the Ghalib Road. A senior official of the Radio Pakistan, Quetta, said that the blast did not affect radio transmissions, adding that all vital equipment and installations were safe. Rocket shrapnel damaged the boundary wall of the house besides damaging some electric supply lines, leading to sus-pension of power supply to the area. "It appears that a couple of 107mm rockets were fired from the western side of the provincial capital," a senior police official said. But the exact location could not be located.

The North West Frontier Province (NWFP) capital Peshawar was rocked on March 27 morning by an explosion near an aid agency’s office, hours after a March 26 evening blast in the cantonment area, which injured a senior Awami National Party leader and three others, said Police. Peshawar police chief Abdul Majeed Marwat said March 27 blast in the Pishtakhara area, near an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) facility, caused no casualties, and "the explosion aimed to scare people". The Police official said a dynamite was detonated in an open field near the ICRC’s office, which was bombed on February 10. AFP reported that an explosive device had been hidden in a milkman’s can and planted near the ICRC facility in Peshawar.

It was not immediately known as to who carried out the attack, but his faction of the JUI had sponsored a convention of over one thousand seminaries in Peshawar, capital of NWFP, on April 17 that had declared suicide bombings and vigilante activities by some elements un-Islamic.

A suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto killed 138 persons and injured approximately 550 others on October 18-night in Karachi, according to The News. Two explosions struck near a truck carrying Benazir, but she was not injured and was hurried to her house, police and officials of her party said. "The blasts hit two police vehicles which were escorting the truck carrying Ms Bhutto. The target was the truck," senior Karachi police official Azhar Farooqui told Reuters. Police officer Raja Umer Khitab said evidence at the incident site suggested it was a suicide bombing. He informed that the legs and head of the suicide bomber were found. "There were two blasts, one on the left side and one on the right side of the procession… It appears these were suicide attacks, but it is not confirmed," Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said. "This was an act of terrorism targeting Benazir Bhutto and aimed at sabotaging the democratic process," Sherpao told AFP. "We suspect these were suicide bombings because any pre-planted or timed device would have been prevented by jammers attached to security vehicles," he added. The two explosions occurred a minute apart shortly after midnight near Karsaz bridge close to the vehicle Benazir Bhutto was traveling in, at the head of a procession of hundreds of thousands of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) supporters who had flooded the streets of Karachi to welcome their leader on her return from eight years in self-imposed exile, according to Daily Times. "Benazir Bhutto was immediately taken to her ancestral Bilawal House after the blast," Interior Ministry spokesperson Javed Cheema told AFP.

Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson, was assassinated on December 27 in a gun and suicide attack as she drove away from a campaign rally just minutes after addressing thousands of supporters at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, according to Daily Times. 30 more people were killed and over 100 others, including Benazir’s political secretary Naheed Khan and Sherry Rehman, wounded when a suicide attacker riding on a motorbike blew himself up after firing at Benazir who was waving to her supporters from her vehicle’s sun roof. PPP spokesman Farhatullah Babar stated that Benazir fell inside the vehicle after receiving bullets in her head and neck. Witnesses said three gun shots were heard before the suicide blast near her Black Lexus bulletproof vehicle. She later died at the Rawalpindi General Hospital. “The blast happened at around 5:10pm and the doctors pronounced her dead at 5:25pm,” Babar said. "It may have been pellets packed into the suicide bomber's vest that hit her," interior ministry spokesman Javed Cheema told AFP. Following the assassination, PPP activists reacted violently in different cities in Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Balochistan. Angry protestors took to the streets, pelted stones, burned government and private property and various vehicles besides chanting slogans against the government, The Post reported. At least 10 people were killed in different parts of the country, including two in Lahore, during the exchange of fire. In Karachi, police said at least 70 vehicles were burnt by protesters, including 35 trucks filled with wheat. All petrol pumps were immediately closed as knots of protesters blocked many roads. Incidents of aerial firing were reported in different parts especially in Peshawar, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi and Quetta. Official sources told The News that civil armed forces have been summoned in aid of the security agencies to maintain law and order, adding the security around sensitive installations and government personalities has been beefed up.

At least 27 people were killed and many wounded in violence during a nationwide outpouring of grief and protest strikes over Benazir Bhutto’s assassination while army was deployed in 16 districts of Sindh and paramilitary forces elsewhere in the country. A complete general strike and funeral prayer congregations in all the country’s four provinces, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) Kashmir and Northern Areas marked the day as the former Prime Minister, killed in an unidentified assassin’s gun-and-bomb attack in Rawalpindi on December 27, was buried at her ancestral Garhi Khuda Bux village in the Sindh province. Protests at several places turned violent, with demonstrators attacking and burning both public and private properties, mostly in Sindh where 17 people were reported killed.
