On 27 December 2007, Pakistan was plunged into chaos and grief as former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi during an election rally. 

A suicide bomber targeted her convoy, detonating an explosive that claimed her life along with those of dozens of supporters, marking a dark chapter in the nation's tumultuous political history.

Bhutto, a trailblazer as the first woman to lead a Muslim-majority country, symbolised hope and resilience in the face of mounting extremism and political instability.

Her untimely death not only robbed Pakistan of a visionary leader but also triggered widespread unrest, casting a long shadow over the country's future.
