Pakistan prosecutor in Bhutto case murdered

Gunmen fatally shot Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali in Islamabad on his way to court in Rawalpindi Friday for a hearing on former military leader Pervez Musharraf’s application for bail in a highly charged case.

He was the prosecutor in the trial of seven members of the Islamist Lashkar-e-Taibe terrorist group who were charged with orchestrating the Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
The prosecutor was shot by gunmen traveling by motorcycle and car. His bodyguard was injured and a woman passing by killed.
