ISLAMABAD: Gunmen shot dead Pakistan’s Minority Affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti in Islamabad Wednesday, doctor Azmat ullah Qureshi, spokesman for the local Shifa hospital, told AFP.

Two gunmen fired on Bhatti’s vehicle in I-8/3 area of the capital. He was taken to the hospital but had already succumbed to his injuries on the way.

“He is dead, we received him as dead, he was fired upon,” Qureshi told AFP.

Unidentified attackers escaped in a vehicle after shooting Bhatti at close range.

Police official Mohammad Iqbal said the attack happened as the minister was leaving his home on the way to work.

He was one of those that wished to reform the blasphemy law and bring the country into the 20 century let alone the 21st.

Another sad day as the intolerant and the bigoted, (as is likely) here kill another person.
