Salmaan Taseer the governor of the province of Punjab Pakistan and member of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was assassinated by his own security guard near his home in Islamabad as he was returning from a lunch meeting with a friend at the Kohsar Market a popular cafe spot for the city’s elite. The guard Malik Mumtaz Qadri apparently disagreed with Taseer’s opposition to Pakistan’s blasphemy law, shooting him 26 times with an AK-47 to his chest, neck, face and legs. The blasphemy law imposes a death penalty for insulting Islam, the Quran or the Prophet Mohammed. Taseer who was born to an Englishwoman and into an affluent family of intellectuals, was also the chairman of the national Worldcall Group a major private sector telecom operator.
