Malik, Awan accused of direct involvement in Bhutto's murder | Slain Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's chief
protocol officer Aslam Chaudhry's legal advisor, Asad Rajput, has blamed Interior Minister Rehman Malik and law and parliamentary affairs minister Babar Awan of
being directly involved in the former premier's assassination. Talking to media
persons here, Rajput said the UN enquiry commission's report over Bhutto's tragic
death has clearly established that former President General Pervez Musharraf had
masterminded the gun and bomb attack on Bhutto. He said that a number of high
profile personalities, including former Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi, Intelligence
Bureau chief, the Federal Investigation Agency and the Rawalpindi police were
equally responsible for the December 27, 2007 attack, The Nation reports. Chaudhry
had accused both Malik and Rehman of sabotaging the security arrangements, which
were put in place at Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh, where the ghastly incident took
place. It is worth mentioning here that according to the UN report Malik, who
was in-charge of Bhutto's security and Awan along with the current presidential
spokesperson Farhatullah Babar and Lt. Gen. (retired) Tauqir Zia had sped off
in the back-up bullet proof Mercedes soon after Bhutto was attacked and did not
stop till it reached Zardari House in Islamabad. |
