Julfikar Ali Bhutto

Julfikar Ali Bhutto (1928 — 1979) was a Pakistani statesman. He served as president of Pakistan during 1971 — 1973, and prime minister during 1973 — 1977, ousted from office in a military coup by his appointed army chief Zia-ul-Haq on July 5, 1977 and arrested but released after a month.

On September 3, Bhutto was arrested again on charges of authorising the murder of a political opponent in March 1974. A 35-year-old politician Ahmed Raza Kasuri and his family had been ambushed, leaving Kasuri's father, Nawab Muhammad Ahmad Khan Kasuri, dead. Kasuri claimed that he was the actual target, accusing Bhutto of orchestrating the attack.

He was executed after a controversial trial by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 1979.
