Zardari killed Benazir, says Zulfiqar Mirza

In a startling allegation amid continuing verbal war, Pakistan People’s Party’s estranged leader Zulfiqar Mirza has alleged that former president Asif Ali Zardari killed former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

“Asif Ali Zardari murdered Benazir Bhutto,” the former Sindh home minister said, while addressing a Press conference on Tuesday at his residence in Karachi.

“Benazir would not have even married Zardari if it was not for my efforts,” he added.

Angry that his security was withdrawn, Mirza reiterated he has been receiving threats. “Taking my security back is the first step in attempts to kill me,” he said, fearing a repeat of what happened to Mir Murtaza.
