No one other than Mr. Musharraf is facing charges. In 2013, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali, a state prosecutor who was leading the efforts to prosecute Mr. Musharraf, was killed on his way to court. Just months after Ms. Bhutto’s assassination, Mr. Musharraf blamed Baitullah Mehsud, a former leader of the Pakistani Taliban, for the killing. Investigators said Mr. Mehsud had provided the suicide bomber and arranged for the funds. “The court verdict is a shock for me,” said Senator Rehman Malik, a former interior minister who was a close aide to Ms. Bhutto.
