Thousands honour Bhutto

THOUSANDS of Pakistanis gathered yesterday to mourn ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto on the third anniversary of her death and demand her killers be brought to justice.

Loyalists descended on her grave in the southern village of Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, chanting “Bhutto was alive yesterday and Bhutto is alive today”.

Bhutto, the first woman prime minister of a Muslim country, was killed on December 27, 2007.

Five alleged Taliban militants held for nearly three years over the killing have yet to be indicted.
