Islamabad, Dec.27 : Armed miscreants today separately targetted rallies of former Prime Ministers' Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif.
According to initial reports, at least four Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers were killed on Thursday evening by armed men at Rawalpindi's Karal Chowk.

Commandos were called in to re-enforce the police forces controlling what was a very tense situation. Two vehicles of former Punjab provincial assembly member, Chaudhry Tanvir, were badly damaged by the firing.
