ISLAMABAD: Involvement of former president General Pervez Musharraf or any intelligence agency in the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto could not be proven and no new suspect has been added to the fresh investigation conducted by Deputy Inspector General of Islamabad Police, Bin Yamin, Interior Ministry sources told The News.
His report declared that Abu Ubaid al-Misry was the planner of the assassination plot of Benazir Bhutto and executed his plan with the cooperation of Baitullah Mehsud.
The comprehensive report, which includes 186 slides, has been submitted to Interior Minister Rehman Malik, who will present it to the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the sources said.
The report disclosed that a powerful satellite mobile phone system Thoraya was provided to the key players of the assassination plot and the sets were provided from Dubai, adding that the connectivity of the system was so strong that its signals could be received under water.
The Interior Ministry sources told this correspondent that the section of terrorism from the investigation of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was separated from the original investigation to scientifically prove the involvement of the suspects in the assassination.
The sources told this scribe that the characters of the planners, perpetrators, executors and financers had been elaborated separately in the fresh investigation, which concentrates on the act of terrorism. The movement of the perpetrators and executors of the plan involved in the assassination was thoroughly monitored and checked through geo-fencing technology to scientifically prove their involvement, the sources said, adding that the perpetrators and executors, later, gathered in the house of Rafaqat and finalised the plan.
Family-trees of all the suspects involved in the assassination of Benazir were also prepared to know their family background, the sources added. The report, being presented in the CEC meeting, confirmed that Rafaqat, Husnain Gul, Ikramullah, Aitzaz Shah, Rasheed Turabi and Sher Zaman were involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and they were directly linked to Abu Ubaid Misry and Baitullah Mehsud. Three key suspects, directly involved in the assassination plan, are still at large, the sources, quoting the report, said.
The sources denied that any clue regarding the involvement of former president General Pervez Musharraf or any intelligence agency in the assassination plan was detected during the course of the investigation. However, they said, To investigate such angles was not their domain.
The fresh investigation not only reshaped the case but more detections were also included, making it stronger and more reliable, the sources maintained. The fresh investigation, after the recommendation of the CEC, would be made a part of the master challan of the Benazir Bhuttos assassination case, under trial in the court of law, the sources said.
