Islamabad, November 16: Former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated by Taliban, a chargesheet filed by Pakistani investigators to an anti-terrorism court has said, while giving clean chit to former military ruler Pervez Musharraf of any involvement in the case.
The chargesheet filed by a joint investigation team of the Federal Investigation Agency to a Rawalpindi-based court yesterday held the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan responsible for the attack that killed Bhutto on December 27, 2007.
The court is conducting the trial of several suspects arrested in connection with the assassination.
The 48-page chargesheet, which came almost 35 months after the assassination, is based largely on investigations carried out during the Musharraf regime.
It gives a clean chit to Musharraf, who resigned as President in 2008, and functionaries of the then federal and Punjab governments.
