Officers from Scotland Yard’s Diplomatic Protection Group will carry out a risk assessment and talk to officials of Pakistan People’s Party to decide what level of protection he should receive, the Daily Mail reported. The slain leader’s 19-year-old son was named chairman of the party recently. Bilawal could now become a target of Islamic militants.
His father Asif Ali Zardari will run the party while Bilawal finishes his studies in History at Oxford, where protection for him could range from a panic alarm and special security measures in his student accommodation.
