Bhutto supporter dies after shooting

Last updated:

Karachi: A supporter of murdered Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto died in hospital on Tuesday, a day after he was injured in a shooting at an election meeting.

Asif Ghanchi was wounded after unknown gunmen opened fire on Monday at a gathering of the Pakistan People's Party to campaign for elections on February 18.

Ghanchi was shot in the chest in one of the first such incidents during an election campaign in Pakistan.

The polls were postponed by six weeks after Bhutto herself was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack on a political rally in Rawalpindi on December 27.
