Al-Zulfiqar was a militant insurgency organization in Pakistan.[1][2] It was formed in 1979 by Murtaza Bhutto and Shahnawaz Bhutto after their father,[3] then-Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was deposed in a military coup and executed. Al-Zulfiqar was formed to avenge Bhutto's killing by means of armed struggle against the military regime of General Zia-ul-Haq.
