Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated In 2007.

Bhutto, Pakistan's first female prime minister, was assassinated by a 15-year-old suicide bomber after an election rally. There are some disputes over the exact cause, as members of her party said she died by bullet wounds before the explosion.

She had returned to Pakistan only a few months earlier to run for a third term as prime minister, after spending eight years outside the country.

Right after her death, protests went through cities and mobs set trains on fire. Years after her death she's still a symbol in the country, with her face and message used in ads, and by other politicians.

According to Al Jazeera, her death made her "a 'martyr' for the cause of democracy," and washed away many of her faults.
