KARACHI (Reuters) - Unidentified gunmen shot dead a policeman in a stronghold of assassinated Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto in Karachi on Friday, a day after she was killed in a suicide attack in Rawalpindi, police said.

"Unknown people gunned down a police constable in Lyari this morning," said senior police official Fayyaz Khan, referring to a poor city neighborhood and a bastion of Bhutto support.
