Gilani’s spokesman Zahid Bashir said “two bullets struck the driver’s side of the PM’s vehicle in a murder attempt. He further added that “By the grace of Allah the prime minister is safe”. The Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani is fine and now he is at the PM house. Information Minister of Pakistan Sherry Rehman added.
The attack happened near the capital Islamabad on the most secured road to the airport in the garrison city. Earlier this the former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has assassinated during an election campaign last year. Pakistan’s interior secretary Kamal Shah said that Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and his staff were not in the car when attack happened.
