Pakistan's Prime Minister Escapes Taliban Assassination Attempt.....

Only a matter of time....

Islamabad, 3 Sept. (AKI) -Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani survived an apparent assassination attempt near the capital Islamabad on Wednesday.

The prime minister's motorcade was showered with bullets from the hills near Islamabad International Airport as it was arriving to collect him.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Interior, Gillani was returning from a day trip to Lahore and was not in the vehicle at the time of the attack.

A Pakistani militant told Adnkronos International (AKI) on condition of anonymity that the attack was retribution for the government's offensive in the Bajaur agency bordering Afghanistan.
