Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto adjusts her headscarf during a press conference at her house. Bhutto had returned to Pakistan four days earlier after eight years of self-imposed exile, in order to lead her Pakistan People's Party in upcoming elections.

In a second attack, after a party rally on 27 December, Bhutto was assassinated.
