Benazir killing planned in Pak officer’s home: Report

The plot to assassinate Pakistan’s former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was hatched at the official residence of an army brigadier, according to a report published on Friday in The Express Tribune newspaper.

The latest inquiry into the December 27, 2007 attack on an election rally that killed Bhutto, conducted by the home ministry, reveals the involvement of nine people, one of them a brigadier, described as a key architect. The report is said to be in the possession of interior minister Rehman Malik and has only been shown to President Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto’s widower.
