RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A Pakistani court indicted two police officers and five others Saturday, charging them with conspiracy to kill Benazir Bhutto, a defense lawyer says.
Bhutto, a former prime minister who had returned to the country to run for office, was killed by a suicide bomber in December 2007. Her assassination took place during a rally in Rawalpindi.
Malik Muhammad Rafique, who is representing the two police officers, told CNN prosecutors have no evidence against them. Both men, Saud Aziz and Khurram Shahzad, were released on bail after being charged with security violations and destroying evidence at the scene.
Rafique said the other five men were charged with terrorism, murder and conspiracy.
The indictments were handed down by an anti-terrorist court in Rawalpindi, the headquarters of Pakistan's military, that works in secret, Rafique said.
