@Noman: Firstly, Scotland Yard has no jurisdiction to "investigate" in Pakistan. Secondly this person, if you remember, went to the airport like a hero with guards armed to the teeth and declared that he had 2 suitcases full of rock solid evidence to be handed over to Scotland Yard. Should not the Yard have acted!
@salim: As long as MQM is in Gov. Scotland yard will not be allowed to come to karachi and investigate.
So that's why the referendum was delayed?
Now the court will conviniently say 'lack of evidence'
@Ahmed Shah Was he at the scene of the crime? He went to UK heroically and not even a whimper after he returned.
Well Zulfikar Mirza is still alive, will he not appear before court to testify the killers? Or those press conferences were just drama?
