A group called the "Al-Islambouli Brigades" has taken credit for an assassination attempt on Pakistani Prime Minister-designate Shaukat Aziz. A suicide bomber exploded at a campaign rally near Fateh Jang, narrowly missing the Prime Minister and killing at least nine others, including Aziz's personal driver. The failed assassination came only hours after the capture of wanted Al-Qaida operative Ahmed Ghailani in the town of Gujrat by Pakistani security forces.
