On Dec 27, 2007, Benazir went to Liaquat Baagh, Rawalpindi, to address a massive public meeting. Returning from the venue, Benazir saw a group of supporters chanting slogans around her car. She stood up through the sun-roof of the car to wave her hand at the supporters. And just then, out of nowhere, a terrorist shot her in the head. An explosion was heard just then.
She was taken to hospital. Amid the sobbing and mourning supporters, Babar Awan informed the media that Benazir had passed away.
