                  Funeral Held for Slain Pakistani Politician

   by VOA News

   Hundreds of mourners gathered for the funeral of a Pakistani politician
   shot dead in Karachi.
   Zahra Shahid Hussain was killed late Saturday after being approached by
   two unknown gunmen outside her home in Karachi.
   Pakistani politician and former cricket star Imran Khan, leader of
   Pakistan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, blamed Saturday's
   slaying of Zahra Shahid Hussain on the rival Muttahida Qaumi Movement
   party, or MQM.
   The party has denied any involvement.
   Zahra Hussain was a senior vice president of PTI, which finished third
   in last week's parliamentary election and accused MQM of vote-rigging.
   Her funeral was held as Karachi held a partial re-vote Sunday in
   response to those claims.
   Some information for this report was provided by Reuters.
