Alleges Zardari also involved in the killing of Murtaza Bhutto

Fatima Bhutto, niece of slain Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader and the former Pakistan Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, has said her aunt had covered up the 1996 killing of her (Ms. Fatima's) father Murtaza.

Ms. Fatima alleged that Benazir's husband Asif Ali Zardari, now Pakistan President, was also involved in the killing of Murtaza on September 20, 1996.

When asked by Karan Thapar in Devil's Advocate programme on CNN-IBN whether Mr. Zardari was involved in the killing, Ms. Fatima said, “Yes.”

No charges were, however, proved against Mr. Zardari.

On whether she believed Benazir Bhutto — who was then Prime Minister of Pakistan — had a role to play, she replied, “Yes. Unfortunately.”
