The Secretary-General is shocked to hear that the convoy of Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, who arrived in Karachi a few hours ago, was attacked by two roadside bombs, reportedly killing more than 100 people and injuring many more.

The Secretary-General strongly condemns this terrorist attack and expresses condolences to the families of the victims. He trusts that all political forces will act together to strengthen national unity.
