Rehman Malik fails to appear in Benazir Bhutto murder hearing

The court ordered the former interior minister and PPP leader to appear before the court for his testimony on the next hearing of the case on February 10.

FIA officials had requested the special court in an earlier hearing for testimony of Malik in the Benazir Bhutto murder case.

Judge Ayub Marath had granted the request and had ordered Malik to record his statement before the court in the case today.

However, Malik failed to appear before the court to record his statement.

Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun and bomb attack on December 27, 2007 when she was leaving a public meeting venue after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi.
