Pakistan says has "breakthrough" in Bhutto case

ISLAMABAD, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Pakistani police investigating the assassination of Benazir Bhutto said on Wednesday they had made a "major breakthrough" in arresting two Islamist militants who said they had given her attacker a pistol and suicide vest.

"They have confessed that they gave a suicide jacket and a pistol to the bomber," Deputy Inspector General Chaudhry Abdul Majeed told reporters. "It's a major breakthrough. Their confession is a major piece of evidence in the case," he said. Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack after an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi on Dec. 27.
