The latest bombing was the second outbreak of political violence in Pakistan today. Earlier, gunmen opened fire on supporters of another former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, from an office of the party that supports President Musharraf, killing four Sharif supporters, police said.

Mr Sharif was several kilometres away from the shooting and was on his way to Rawalpindi after attending a rally.

Mr Sharif, who was overthrown by Mr Musharraf in a 1999 coup and allowed back into the country just last month after seven years in exile, blamed supporters of the pro-Musharraf party for the violence.

The shooting occurred near an office of the pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League (Q). But a spokesman for the party denied that its workers were involved.

"Somebody from inside the election office opened fire,", said senior police official Shahid Nadeem Baloch.

"But I can’t say they were Q people," he said, referring to the pro-Musharraf party."It’s an election office and lots of people sit there during election time."


It is not just party A wants to kill party B. There is also party C and party D, and pretty much they are willing to kill each other and themselves.
