Karachi: Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Rehman Malik on Tuesday said that all proofs regarding the murder of shaheed Benazir Bhutto was gathered and the proceedings against the accused were commenced.
Giving a briefing to Sindh Assembly regarding the proceedings of Benazir murder case, Malik said that people wanted to know regarding the murderers of their beloved leader Benazir and for the first time the report had been announced publically.
Malik said that we all know how Benazir was tortured during the tenure of PML-N and former president Pervez Musharraf. “Pervez Musharraf threatened Benazir that if she comes to Pakistan before elections he would not provide security to her”.
“We all know that which mindset killed Benazir and who were the planners, carriers and executers of this incident,” he said.
Malik revealed that the accused was arrested when he used his SIM after almost 1.5 year of the incident and during investigation he informed investigators regarding all persons and resources used in this blast. “Many other accused were also arrested and investigation has almost completed,” he added.
Chief Investigator of Benazir Bhutto murder case Khalid Qureshi revealed to the Sindh Assembly that Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud was responsible for the planning and execution of the attack on Benazir Bhutto.
He said that the people recruited to carry out the task were all trained in the Haqqania madrassa in South Waziristan. “On December 20, in room no. 11 of Haqqania madrassa, Baitullah Maisood gave money to carry out the task.”
All the suspects of the attack were traced after, the main accused, Hasnain Gul, one day mistakenly called his landline number in Rawalpindi.
“All terrorists have strict instructions of not calling any landline number,” Qureshi said.
