Officer In Bhutto Shooting Found Dead

Gunmen killed a policeman involved in the shooting death of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s brother, the officer’s son said Saturday.

Inspector Haq Nawaz Sayyal, 55, was killed in his bed by two gunmen who snuck into his home inside a residential police compound in Karachi, said his son, Muzaffar.

He told The Associated Press that the gunmen used silencers to muffle the shots, then fled.

But the city’s police chief, Shoaib Suddle, said Sayyal committed suicide with his own .38 caliber pistol because he couldn’t bear the media attention following the Sept. 20 shootout in which Murtaza Bhutto was killed.
