PESHAWAR/KARACHI: Peoples Amn Committee leader and notorious gang war figure Uzair Baloch is reportedly in the custody of Pakistan’s intelligence agencies and has confessed two notable murders, sources said on Thursday.
According to reports in Pakistani media, the gang war leader has confessed killing two of the important witnesses in Benazir Bhutto murder case.
One of the dual murders was that of Khalid Shahenshah, the security incharge of then PPP chief Benazir Bhutto.
It has been reported that Baloch is detained in three storey building in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province’s Peshawar city.
The assassination of Benazir Bhutto occurred on 27 December 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Bhutto, twice Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996) and then-leader of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, had been campaigning ahead of elections scheduled for January 2008.
Shots were fired at her after a political rally at Liaquat National Bagh, and a suicide bomb was detonated immediately following the shooting. She was declared dead at 18:16 local time (13:16 UTC), at Rawalpindi General Hospital.
