Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri

Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri (1903–1974) was a Pakistani man assassinated in 1974 in a car ambush targeting his son. Ahmad Raza Khan Kasuri, a critic of the country's prime minister, escaped the ambush.[1] The attack was allegedly on the orders of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was later arrested and convicted in 1978 by the Lahore High Court and was hanged in 1979.[2]
