Gunmen killed Pakistan's lead prosecutor investigating the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto as he drove to court in the capital on May 3, throwing the case that also involves former ruler Pervez Musharraf into disarray. Chaudhry Zulfikar was at the helm of a number of highly controversial cases, including the 2007 Bhutto assassination in which Musharraf is accused of involvement. He was also prosecuting militants linked to the 2008 terror attack in the Indian city of Mumbai. The gunmen fired at Zulfikar from a taxi and hit him in the head, shoulder and chest, said police. Zulfikar's bodyguard returned fire in the attack and believes he wounded at least one of the attackers.
