“The brutality of this insidious act fills us with horror. It had the completely unjustified intention of destroying democracy in Pakistan,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.

Such an aim needed to be confronted, he added.

Scores of people died and hundreds were injured when a suicide bomber targeted Bhutto’s vehicle in Karachi Thursday night.

Bhutto was not injured in the attack, which occurred only hours after she returned to Pakistan after eight years in exile.
