Murtaza Razvi was a well-known columnist and political analyst with the national English language daily Dawn.
Bhutto's brother, Murtaza, a firebrand politician, died in a shootout with police in Karachi in 1996.
True to form, Murtaza is not among them - he had left for the Riviera.
Murtaza is impetuous, arrogant and convinced of a right to lead conferred by birth.
As Al-Zulfiqar turns on itself, those suspected of disloyalty are simply murdered by Murtaza's henchmen.
Twenty-five journalists and media workers, including Tariq Kamal and Murtaza Razvi, have been killed in Pakistan since 2002.
At the time of his death, Murtaza was trying to oust the then Pakistan premier: his sister Benazir.
One quality that Murtaza does not lack is ruthlessness - with his own followers as well as his enemies.
The prime minister's prestige took a further blow when her estranged brother Murtaza was gunned down by police in September.
Murtaza's death all but guaranteed that: he died in 1996 in a gun battle with police outside his Karachi home.
The Bashkir government voted Monday to approve the nomination of Rustem Khamitov to replace the long-serving president of Bashkortostan, Murtaza Rakhimov.
In 1980, he fell victim to Murtaza's growing paranoia and was thrown into Kabul's notorious Pul-I-Charkhi prison for more than two years.
They had fought over matters ranging from judicial appointments to the investigation into the fatal shooting of Bhutto's brother and political rival, Murtaza, in September.
After the elder Bhutto was executed in 1979, Anwar, like scores of other idealistic Pakistanis, followed Murtaza to exile in Afghanistan and took up a quixotic struggle against the Zia regime.
Murtaza, Bhutto's eldest son, saw himself as political heir.
Mr Kazue Tase, Additional Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Muhammad Azam along with Director UNESCO Islamabad, Ms Kozue Kay Nagata and prominent journalists like Mr Hamid Mir, Mr Mohammad Ziauddin and Mr Murtaza Solangi.
"Within days of Mir Murtaza Bhutto's death, the prime minister appeared on television insinuating that the presidency and other agencies of the state were involved in a conspiracy, " said the president in explaining why he was ousting Bhutto.
Because of Pakistani press censorship during the martial law years from 1977 to 1985 - and Murtaza's understandable reluctance to discuss his terrorist past - little was known of the activities of the Al-Zulfiqar group he set up in Kabul in 1979.
