RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Wednesday has reserved verdict in former Prime Minister (PM) Benazir Bhutto murder case after nine years.
According to details, ATC Rawalpindi heard the case during which prosecutor of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Khawaja Asif and the lawyers of the suspects presented their arguments.
Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun-and-bomb attack outside Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh on December 27, 2007 while Musharraf was president. She was killed after addressing an election campaign rally in the city.
A trial of five suspects, who were arrested by police, started in February 2008 which was later handed over to FIA.
The ATC had indicted former president Pervez Musharraf in the case in February 2011, and in August the same year he was declared a proclaimed offender. A separate case was filed against his continuous absence.
