THE prime minister of Slovakia was fighting for his life last night after being shot five times in a politically motivated assassination attempt.
Robert Fico, 59, was targeted while meeting crowds outside a community centre in Handlova, 120 miles from capital Bratislava, yesterday.
Mobile phone footage showed him being lifted into a car by his bodyguards and rushed to a local hospital.
He was later taken by helicopter to Banska Bystrica for an emergency operation.
Last night, defence minister Robert Kalinak described his condition as "extraordinarily serious".
