Dutch parliament in shock after right-winger gunned down
Dutch political leaders were today considering delaying the May 15 general elections following the assassination of far-right political leader Pim Fortuyn, whose party was set to win up to 28 of the 150 parliamentary seats.
Fortuyn was shot dead yesterday in the car park of a radio station in Hilversum, 12 miles from Amsterdam, where he had just given a campaign interview. Political parties immediately suspended all campaigning.
