Supporters of Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Killed and Wounded in Suicide Bombing

Despite President's Musharraf's confidence that the elections, which are to held on Monday, would be free and fair, 37 people were killed and about 90 wounded by a suicide bombing in Parachinar in north-west Paskistan, all PPP members or supporters.

A car drove into a crowd outside the office of candidate who supports the PPP, and blew up, causing instant deaths and mayhem.

Asif Ali Zardari, Benazir Bhutto's husband, denounced the attack, and urged the Party's supporters to stay calm and not to lose track.

Apart from outbreaks of violence, the opposition is on guard for possible electoral fraud.

The present volatile climate and unstable conditions have caused many not to participate openly in political gatherings.
