LONDON: Around 40 members of Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party held a vigil outside the country’s high commission in London on Friday, a photographer at the scene said.

The group gathered for about an hour lighting candles, giving short speeches and crying outside the building in the exclusive Knightsbridge district of central London.

A book of condolences has been opened inside for Bhutto, who was assassinated after a rally in Rawalpindi on Thursday.

There were no other protests reported in Britain, despite Bhutto spending time here during her exile and the hundreds of thousands of its residents who have ties to Pakistan.—AFP
