She had formerly served as the president of women's wing of the party in Sindh, and was a member of the central executive committee of the party.〔("Pakistan politician Zahra Shahid Hussain killed in Karachi" ), ''bbc.co.uk''.〕 On 18 May 2013, she was assassinated outside her house in the upscale Defence Housing Authority neighborhood in Karachi.〔("Zahra Shahid Hussain: A woman of substance" ), ''tribune.com.pk''.〕〔("I would want you to know who Zahra Shahid was" ), ''dawn.com''.〕 ==Assassination== According to police, Hussain was ambushed by two people on a motorcycle. Her murder took place on the eve of a highly-contested partial rerun of the general election. According to a witness, "The assailants opened fire...as soon as she reached the gate of her residence. Apparently they were there to target her only". An eyewitness said that she had handed the attackers her belongings, but they shot her even then.〔 Another report from Dawn News said that "()ccording to police, three motorcycle riders tried to steal Hussain’s handbag and opened fire ''upon resistance''" (emphasis added). This report attributed the "handed (purse ) over" report to PTI leader Firdous Shamim.〔 PTI leader Imran Khan blamed Altaf Hussain, the London-based leader of Karachi's dominant Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) party for her murder.〔("Leading Pakistan politician Zahra Shahid Hussain killed outside home" ), ''guardian.co.uk'', May 18, 2013.〕〔("PTI leader Zahra Shahid Hussain gunned down in Karachi" ), ''thenews.com.pk''.〕 The MQM chief a few days earlier had used threatening language saying his party workers would teach protesters at Teen Talwar a lesson if he ordered them to do so. Altaf Hussain also threatened to harm those who were hatching conspiracies against MQM and said “I am about to set free my enraged followers if opposition against our party is not stopped”.〔(PTI senior leader Zahra Shahid killed on eve of Karachi re-polls ), ''dawn.com'', 2013-05-19.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zahra Shahid Hussain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
