Pakistan's minister for minorities has been shot dead by armed men in Islamabad.
An official at the Pakistani capital's Shifa Hospital said Shahbaz Bhatti arrived dead after Wednesday's attack, in which his driver also got wounded.
Police said they were still confirming whether Bhatti, the only Christian in the Pakistani cabinet, was the intended target.
He had been threatened by Muslim religious groups in the past because he had spoken out against the country's controversial blasphemy law.
Mohammad Iqbal, an Islamabad police official, said that the attack happened as Bhatti was leaving his home on the way to work.
