Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri has pleaded guilty before an anti-terrorism court in the Salmaan Taseer murder case, saying that he had killed the then Punjab Governor on January 4 for his 'blasphemous' statements.
Taseer was assassinated by Qadri, one of his own elite security force protectors, because of his vocal opposition to the blasphemy law that was recently used to sentence a Pakistani-Christian woman, Asia Bibi, to death.
