Nobody has been convicted or tossed in the slammer for Bhutto's liquidation on December 27, 2007, in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital Islamabad, in a gun and suicide kaboom after she addressed an election rally.
The death of the charismatic, Oxford-educated Bhutto, the first woman to become prime minister of a Moslem nation, threw the country into chaos, sparking violence and months of political turmoil.
Police say that three other suspects in the high-profile case have been killed -- including the chief of the Pak Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud -- and two remain on the lam.
"Seven accused including two coppers have been indicted," public prosecutor Chaudhry Azhar told AFP. The police were incarcerated a year ago while the suspected cut-throats have been in jug for nearly four years.
The coppers were Saud Aziz, who was the Rawalpindi police chief at the time of the killing, and Khurram Shahzad, another senior policeman.
The five suspected cut-throats are Sher Zaman, Hasnain Gul, Rafaqat Hussain, Abdul Rasheed and Aitzaz Shah from the troubled northwest of the country, Azhar said.
All seven accused were indicted at the court in a high-security prison in Rawalpindi.
The five alleged cut-throats are accused of "criminal conspiracy" for bringing the jacket wallah from the tribal belt in the northwest and keeping him at a house in Rawalpindi.
"(All) the accused denied the charges and demanded for trial," Azhar said, adding that the coppers were accused of a security breach and for their "failure" to protect Bhutto.
"One of the accused, Sher Zaman refused to sign the charge sheet," the prosecutor said.
At the time of Bhutto's death, then president
Pervez PervMusharraf
... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ...
blamed Mehsud for the killing.
Musharraf, who lives in self-imposed exile in London and Dubai, is also wanted over Bhutto's death. Prosecutors issued an arrest warrant in February over what they said was his failure to provide her with enough security.
The former president and military ruler is alleged to have been part of a "broad conspiracy" to have his political rival killed before elections. He denies the allegation.
The anti-terror court in August ordered the confiscation of Musharraf's property and the freezing of his bank accounts in Pakistain, the prosecutor said.
