An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday ordered access of Benazir Bhutto murder case’s record to her political secretary Naheed Khan.
Interior Ministry said that United States (US) journalist Mark Siegel will record his statement on October 1.
ATC Judge Rai Ayub Marth was hearing the case. Naheed Khan appeared before the court. The ATC summoned prosecutor’s witness SP Tahir Ayub and case’s first investigation officer Inspector Kashif Riaz in the next hearing. Both the summoned persons will record their statements on September 21.
Prosecution appealed the court against recording statement of witness Azam Yousaf who was injured in the incident. The court granted the objection and dismissed recording of Yousaf’s statement.
While talking to the media after hearing, Naheed Khan said that Amin Fahim and Safdar Abbasi were present in the car when Benazir was shot. However, she said that the court did not record their statements. She further said that she would respond to the allegations in the court.
She does not want to see culprits in the case at large, she added.
