Pakistani investigators probing the 2007 assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto have decided to quiz Rehman Malik after being told by Pervez Musharraf that the former interior minister had decided details of her security on the day she was killed.
Malik was head of Bhutto’s security when she returned to Pakistan from self-exile in late 2007. Federal Investigation Agency officials who questioned the former president after his arrest over the assassination were told that Malik decided details of security for the 27 December, 2007 public meeting in Rawalpindi where she was killed.
Musharraf denied his involvement in the killing and said Bhutto was killed because of a security breach for which Malik was responsible, the Dawn quoted its sources in the FIA.
