Her body has been flown back to her home town, her husband and children have arrived in Pakistan. Riots took place in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar; 10 have been reported killed. Four were also killed prior to a rally for Nawaz Sharif. The PML-N, Sharif’s party, will boycott the January 8 election.
