Pervez Musharraf, President of Pakistan, was shot while addressing a crowd of supporters in front of the Presidential Palace in Islamabad and is believed to be dead. The Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan, Muhammad Mian Soomro, has become acting President until the Electoral College of Pakistan can elect a successor. It is reported that the shooter cried out "Kashmir for India!" in Hindi before being gunned down by Musharraf's bodyguards.
