Pakistan's prime minister-designate Shaukat Aziz survived an assassination attempt Friday while campaigning in a by-election, witnesses and officials said.
Aziz, currently finance minister, was coming out of a campaign meeting when a bomb went off, witnesses said.
This in a country where the President just recently survived two bomb assasination attempts.
And Pakistan has nukes. If the government should fall to Islamic extremists that would really be scary.
