13 Killed in Attack on Pakistan Lawyers’ Rally

HeadlineJul 18, 2007

In Pakistan, at least 13 people were killed in a suicide attack on a lawyers’ rally in Islamabad. The protest had been called in support of Pakistan’s chief justice suspended by President Pervez Musharraf earlier this year. A witness described the attack.

Unidentified witness: “It was quite dark so we could not see clearly. There was smoke everywhere. When we reached the spot, we saw pieces of dead bodies. We saw the dead body of a child, of a woman. We could not see any crater in the ground, nor any cracks like you normally see in a planted bomb.”
