Another BB assassination suspect confesses involvement
 Abdur Rashid, another suspect in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case, met with Islamabad's All-Truncheon Team and confessed before a court on Friday that he had provided weapons and explosives to Benazirs murderers. The accused was produced before Special Judicial Magistrate Ahmad Masood Janjua under tight security by the joint investigation team (JIT). He was then sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand. No media was allowed to cover the court proceedings. Later, the JIT officials shifted him to Adiala Jail. Sources said that Rashid was arrested on Thursday from the limits of Pirwadhai Police Station. JIT head, Crime Investigation Departments Additional Inspector General Chaudhry Abdul Majeed, told reporters at a press conference that Rashid was a key member of the gang but was not at the scene of the killing. He said Rashid had confessed his supporting role in the assassination plot, AFP reported. He said the preliminary investigations had revealed mild similarities in the intentions of the five accused, adding that the JIT had yet to establish a link between them.
