Suicide bombers assassinated Pakistani politician Shuja Khanzada and killed at least 21 others at his home in Attock District. Assassination of Shuja Khanzada: On 16 August 2015, two suspected suicide bombers detonated explosives at the political office of Punjab Interior Minister Shuja Khanzada in the Attock District village of Shadi Khan, 80Â km (50Â mi) from the Pakistani capital Islamabad. The blasts killed the minister and 18 other people; at least 17 people were injured and hospitalised.
