LARKANA: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Thursday that one of Benazir Bhutto’s suspected killers was killed in a drone strike whereas the remaining accused languished in jail, DawnNews reported.

He said that Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari would address the youth today, adding that, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) wants to resolve the country’s problems through dialogue.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the federal minister had said that Dec 27, 2012 would be an important day for the party and the country as another Bhutto was starting his political career.

He also said the journey started by the late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and carried on by Benazir Bhutto to strengthen the country was full of crises, problems and sacrifices.

He said Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had begun the journey by giving a new philosophy to Pakistan, adding that, Benazir had also given her vision and now Bilawal would announce his vision.

In a related development, the National and Super highways were closed for heavy vehicular traffic on Thursday to facilitate the arrival of people attending the 5th death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, reports said.
