Ali Haider Gilani, the son of ex-premier Yousuf Raza Gilani of the Pakistan People's Party, is running for a provincial assembly seat in the district of Multan. He was attending an election event in the city of Multan on Thursday - the last day of campaigning across Pakistan - when gunmen pulled up, started shooting, grabbed and threw him into a vehicle and drove off, officials and witnesses said. Eyewitnesses who attended the rally said the attackers first pulled up in a car and motorcycle outside the venue where the younger Gilani was meeting with a few hundred supporters. When he came out of the building, two gunmen opened fire, killing at least one of the people in Gilani's entourage. "The attackers took Ali Haider from the body of his guard, who fell on him while trying to save him, threw him (Haider) into a black-coloured car and left," said eyewitness Mohammad Ramazan. The former prime minister was not at the event when his son was taken. Speaking to reporters at the family's home in Multan, the elder Gilani appeared shaken but composed. He said two of his son's guards were killed in the attack, but he did not know whether his son was wounded. It was not immediately known who abducted Gilani or why. Gilani's father served for roughly four years as prime minister but was forced out of office last summer by the Supreme Court after refusing to pursue a corruption case against President Asif Ali Zardari. Saturday's election marks a historic milestone for Pakistan as one civilian government completes its term and prepares to hand over to another. But the race has been marred by a string of violent attacks against candidates and election events. However, Gilani's father said the incident would not cause him to boycott the elections.
