Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has survived an assassination attempt, officials say.
Two bullets from an unidentified gunman hit his car as he was travelling just outside the capital, Islamabad, his press secretary told the BBC.
Mr Gilani's government is grappling with a growing threat from militants in the country.
In December former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was killed at an election rally in Rawalpindi.

Yikes - seems like it's not a great time to be a politician in Pakistan!

This less than a year after Bhutto. That's crazy.

I agree!

An endless nightmare scenario.

It does seem the region has an ongoing history of assassination, although I'm not quite sure what it says about the leadership. Is there any way to change this pattern?
