On October 18, 2007, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan after eight years in exile. Thousands of supporters gathered in Karachi to welcome her home.
As her homecoming procession moved along Shahrah-e-Faisal towards Karsaz, two suicide bombings struck the gathering. The blasts caused widespread devastation and shocked the nation.
The attack claimed the lives of more than 180 Pakistan Peoples Party workers and pro-democracy supporters. It also injured over 500 people.
