Pakistan Indicts 7 Men in Bhutto Murder Case; Bhutto Was First Female PM of a Muslim Nation

The Raw Story website reports that yesterday (November 5, 2011) a Pakistani court indicted five Islamist militants and two police officers in the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

Bhutto -- the first female prime minister in the Muslim world -- was killed in a gun and suicide attack in 2007.

An anti-terrorism court indicted the seven men in a hearing held behind closed doors in the city of Rawalpindi for security reasons.

"They have been charged with conspiracy as well as abetment in the murder," Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali, a government prosecutor said.
