The attacker blew himself up, killing at least 20 people. It was the second attempt on Ms Bhutto's life since her return from self-imposed exile in October.
Eleven people have died in overnight rioting notably in Punjab and Sindh. Security forces have been placed on a state of "red alert" nationwide.
