ISLAMABAD, Mar 4 (AP): Pakistan's prime minister told mourners at a Friday funeral Mass for a Christian politician assassinated for opposing harsh blasphemy laws that they had lost a great leader and that the government would do its 'utmost' to bring his killers to justice. Shahbaz Bhatti, the sole Christian government minister, was shot dead Wednesday after being threatened for opposing laws that impose the death penalty for insulting Islam.
