A special anti-terrorist court on Saturday issued summons to 10 witnesses in the murder case of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi, a private news channel reported.
Headed by special ATC judge Pervaiz Rasool Joya, the court also issued a notice to the prosecution over the bail application filed by the under-arrest accused conspirators and accomplices in Benazir’s murder, Mohammad Rafaqat, Hasnain Gul and Aitzaz Shah.
The hearing was held in the premises of Adiyala jail.
Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on December 27, 2007 in a gun-and-bomb attack outside Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh after addressing an election campaign rally.
Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf was the president at the time. In August last year, Musharraf was indicted on three counts over Benazir’s murder.
Former City Police Officer (CPO) of Rawalpindi Saud Aziz, former SP Khurram Shahzad, Sher Zaman and Abdul Rasheed have also been accused in the case.
