She was shot in the neck and the chest, according to a report from Fox News. They have a video report here. At least twenty other were killed in a subsequent explosion. The assassin blew himself up, and detonated a suicide bomb that caused massage carnage after she was killed by bullets. Photos from that are here at Fox News but be warned they are very graphic.

The attack took place as Bhutto was leaving a political rally where she addressed thousands before the country's Jan. 8 parliamentary elections. Bhutto, who led Paksitan from 1988 to 1990 and was the country's first female prime minister.

In November, Bhutto had also planned a rally in the city, but President Pervez Musharraf forced her to cancel it, citing security fears. Political tension is at fever pitch in the country, and residents are being warned to stay off the street and stay home as now more violence is expected to break out, a CNN report details. More video is here of the aftermath of the attack.
