Wearing black hoods and with hands in cuffs, Sher Zaman, 32, and Aitzaz Shah, 15, were led into court on Saturday morning. The public and news media were barred from the proceedings, but lawyers at the court familiar with the case said the two were formally charged. They are accused of supplying a vest packed with explosives to a suicide bomber and ammunition to gunmen who fired several shots before the bomb was detonated. They also said Abdul Rashid, a taxi driver; Husnain Gul; and a man known only as Rafaqat - were accused of providing transport and other assistance. Police also filed charges against Baitullah Mehsud, the top Taliban commander in Pakistan, and four others accused of planning Ms Bhutto's assassination. Mehsud, who operates in the tribal area of South Waziristan, has denied the charges.
