Minister is murdered for being Christian by Dean Nelson in Delhi Thursday March 03 2011
Pakistan's only Christian minister was assassinated yesterday after receiving a series of death threats over his support for persecuted Christians and his opposition to the country's blasphemy law.
Shahbaz Bhatti (42), the minorities minister, was ambushed in his government car by four gunmen who appeared to have detailed knowledge of his movements and security arrangements. He was being driven to his mother's home in an Islamabad suburb.
The assassination follows the murder in January of Salman Taseer, the Punjab governor, who had led the campaign to reform the blasphemy law.
Both men had supported Aasiya Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to hang for allegedly making derogatory comments against the Prophet Mohammad.
Frankfurt airport attack: police explore 'terror link' -The Guardian
Kosovan suspected of killing of two US airmen could have had links to Islamist groups, according to media reports
German police are investigating whether the fatal shooting of two US airmen at Frankfurt airport was a terrorist attack.
Another two American servicemen were wounded when a lone gunman opened fire on a US military bus parked outside the terminal building on Wednesday.
Investigators are pursuing what German media described as "substantial evidence" that the 21-year-old Kosovan suspected of carrying out the attack had links with Islamist groups in Germany. There is concern that more attacks may be in the works, said Spiegel Online.
