allow you to examine Ms Benazir Bhutto and if we allow that there will be no
end to it," the chairman observed. The chairman asked him to submit a
written statement before March 17. He also observed that he (Kamran Khan)
should have come forward earlier, when the messages were being sent to
him. He was reminded by the tribunal that one of the reporters of The News,
Maqbool Ahmed, was given the message to convey to him for his appearance
when his name was mentioned in the list submitted by the PPP (SB) party
counsel, Manzoor Bhutta. "You kept quiet when you knew about it through
the newspapers. You did not wake up until she came and named you by
saying 'if he could be used by me others can also use him.' "Kamran Khan
said he did not know who Maqbool Ahmed was. He said Ms Bhutto had used
the tribunal's platform to say things against him and, therefore, he wanted to
reply to her from the same platform, to which the chairman said she had a
locus standii, because her brother had been killed and her husband had been
arrested in the case.
Dr Bashir Ahmad Shaikh, chemical examiner for Sindh and Balochistan, was
also examined for his department had examined the clothing and other
articles of Haq Nawaz Sial, Dr Mazhar Memon and Asghar Ali, to say
whether the blood stains were those of human blood. The tribunal observed
that he doesn't hold the qualification or experience for the job he was holding;
he was only a medical graduate and holding an interchangeable post. The
post of chemical examiner calls for a master's degree in biochemistry and
with it a lot of experience and the reports which had been submitted were
defective as they had not stated under what types of tests the objects had
been examined. The tribunal adjourned the hearing to reassemble at 11:30am
on Wednesday, to examine the ballistic expert from the police, AIG Jafri.
