“Getty Images senior staff photographer John Moore witnessed the chaotic attack that claimed the life of Pakastini political leader Benazir Bhutto Thursday. Moore was just 20 yards away from the suicide bomb that killed more than 20 people.
“I was splattered with quite a bit of blood on my shirt and face. I didn’t know that until I got home and was informed by my family,” Moore said Friday. “Very fortunately for me, none of it was mine.”
Moore spoke to PDN Friday from southern Pakistan, having flown there earlier in the day from Islamabad, where he is based.
On Thursday, Moore covered the political rally in Rawalpindi where Bhutto addressed a large crowd, delivering the last speech she would ever give. With the event over and daylight fading, Moore and most of the other news media began to leave.”
