ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A prosecutor investigating the 2007 assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, one of the most shocking events in the country's turbulent history, was shot dead on Friday, police sources said.
Gunmen on a motorcycle pumped 12 bullets into Chaudhry Zulfikar as he left his home in Islamabad, the sources said.
Chaudhry was also the prosecutor investigating the 2008 attacks on India's commercial capital, Mumbai, in which 166 people were killed. India said militants based in Pakistan were behind the three-day rampage.
Bhutto's assassination is shrouded in mystery. She was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack after an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi, weeks after she returned to Pakistan from years in self-imposed exile.
A report by a U.N. commission of inquiry released in 2010 said any credible investigation should not rule out the possibility that members of Pakistan's military and security establishment were involved.
Bhutto was a fierce critic of Pakistan's Taliban and Islamist groups that had been patronized by elements of Pakistan's military. She was deeply mistrusted by the security establishment.
The killing of the prosecutor comes days after a Pakistani court put former president Pervez Musharraf on a 14-day judicial remand for charges of failing to provide adequate security for Bhutto before her assassination.
The former army chief returned in March after nearly four years of self-imposed exile to contest the May 11 general election. But has since been banned from politics for life.
