BELGRADE, March 12 (Reuters) - Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic was assassinated on Wednesday, gunned down outside the main government building in Belgrade, a source from his political party told Reuters.
"He's dead," the source from his Democratic Party said.
Djindjic, 50, a reformer who played a central role in the downfall of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in October 2000, was shot in the chest by two large calibre sniper bullets fired from a distance, a police source said.
Local B92 radio said he was shot in the back and the stomach at around 1145 GMT. |
