An anti-terrorism court on Monday decided to record American journalist Mark Siegel s statement through video link in the murder case of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

The court has directed the Rawalpindi commissioner and Pakistani embassy in US to finalise all the arrangements in this regard. The case hearing has been adjourned till Tuesday.

Siegel, a key prosecution witness, was summoned by an anti-terrorism court to record statement in the high-profile assassination case but he refused to visit Pakistan due to security concerns.

In a chargesheet present to the court, investigators had included ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf in the list of main accused who conspired to assassinate the former prime minister
