Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto may be dead, but a book she wrote shortly before her assassination is just now coming under fire.

Bhutto, who was part of the world’s most famous political dynasties and, at the height of her popularity, was one of the most high-profile women leaders in the world, was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack in December in the city of Rawalpindi.

Now, a purported Al Qaeda-linked militant is asking a court to stop the sale of her book, Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy and the West, on grounds of defamation. The Associated Press reports that the alleged militant, Qari Saifullah Akhtar, is refuting Bhutto’s claims that he was involved in an October bombing in Karachi that killed about 150 people. His attorney, Hashmat Habib, called those claims "baseless."

Habib said he is also seeking more than $200 million in damages from the British publishers of Bhutto’s book — Simon & Schuster — as well as printers, sellers and her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, who is her heir and "beneficiary" of any profits. Zardari leads the main party in Pakistan’s government.

The October bombing for which Bhutto points the finger at Akhtar actually targeted her motorcade as supporters welcomed her back from exile.

Akhtar previously faced accusations of involvement in two failed assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf and that he ran an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, which was visited by Osama bin Laden. His lawyer says Akhtar has since renounced militancy and denies involvement in the Karachi bombing.

"All of these allegations are baseless and concocted … The book should be withdrawn from all the sale points throughout the world," Habib said.

Bhutto, whose father was prime minister of Pakistan in the 1970s, served as prime minister of Pakistan twice, from 1988 to 1990, and from 1993 to 1996. Just before her father’s death, she spent five years in prison in solitary confinement.
