[DAWN] Justice Athar Minallah of Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday sought reply from the interior ministry on a petition filed by a son of slain prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali, seeking notification for his martyrdom.
Chaudhry Zulfiqar was special public prosecutor in Benazir Bhutto
... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in...

is also an accused.
He was murdered on May 3, 2013, hours before filing charge-sheet against retired General Pervez Musharraf.
The prosecutor had served 25 years in the FIA and after retirement in 2009 was appointed as the special public prosecutor to pursue 'high profile' cases including the Benazir Bhutto murder case, Mumbai attacks case, Haj corruption case and the Army House attack case.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali, son of the prosecutor, in his petition tried to justify that his father deserved the status of martyrdom.
On January 31, 2014, the FIA had sent a recommendation to the interior ministry seeking martyrdom for Zulfiqar as at the time of liquidation he was on an official assignment, he said.
