    The simple question that comes to mind is why would a leader who is popular yet has many threats would risk her safety by exposing herself from an armoured car? Asif Zardari, (Mr. Ten Percent now gets the chance to blame Musharraf. He is a suspect too!

    Mrs. Bhutto - if statements that she disdained heightened security measures (when she knew full well she was a target of militants and Al Qaeda) are indeed true - really is responsible for her own assassination. Not Musharraf. If indeed she "...wanted to be close to her supporters," and thus foolishly chose to forego government helicopter convoys and state protection, maybe she wanted to be martyred. If I were her, may she rest in peace, I'd have made extra freakin' sure that I was protected to the max every second of every day in country - because I'm so much more valuable to the cause ALIVE than dead. What on earth was she thinking???

    To me it looks like ISI operation using a ISI controlled mujahid. They have control over a whole range of such Islamic militant organisations fighting in Kashmir on their behalf. So getting a couple of their members to do their bidding for a quid pro quo oparational support would not be at all difficult. Coming as did a week after Buttos comment that she would allow AQ Khan to be interrogated by American agencies would be just the kind of motive - if one needed any motive - as ISI (or some major high ranking elements) would be definitely complicit in the smuggling of the nuclear material by AQ Khans Nuclear Walmart. The reason Benezir would have refused a helicopter ride out of Liaqat Bag rally would be the memory that Zia and the then American ambassador were themselves killed in such a airplane ride. And till now no one knows who that happened. And ISI would have found that to easy to execute as a shoulder fired rocket launcher would have easily taken out Benazir without the messy mobile phone cameras of public catching a assasin in the act to complicate the matters!

    Under the circusmtances a UN supervised probe might be more appropriate as US or UK are interested parties and their help may not gain credence with ppl of Pakistan.

    I would like to bring your attention towards that Musharaf regime not the Taliban or Al Qaeda involved in the assassinations of Bhuto and of the incident on October 18, 2007 where more than 200 casualties observed.
    The first questions that strike the public opinions is that of not carry on the neutral investigations of both brutal attempts and the public is yet clear
    Second why the Govt immediately trying to wash and clean the spots of the attacks if the govt is confirm and sure of the involvement of the extremist
    Whether these not show and enough for the involment of the agencies
    Why the neutral investigations not exercised of the October 18, 2007 Bomb blast
    The October 18, 2007 attacks were not a suicide attacks but were bomb blast and yet the Govt declared that so far
    The bomb weight is estimated to be more than of 40 kg which is difficult for the suicide attackers to carry on

    To blame on Taliban or AL QAEDA with out solid evidences show the incapability of the Govt or self involvement

    To divert the international focus on the assassination a message of Osama Bin Laden were published

    We often observed that when Musharaf are under pressure the Osama Video or Messages published and this show that Musharaf used Osama for their own sake

    No world analysis focus on the link of Osama or Alqaeda video when and why published on the date

    If we analyze then we came to the conclusion that when Musharaf are on pressure the like threat were exposed

    When Musharaf resigned or outed from power then the world will see that there is no Taliban or Al qaeda these are self generated by the Musharaf regime

    For last 8 years we just see the suicide attacks and nothing else and the exercise of these attacks were just to maintain the US support for the Musharaf only

    All these suicide attackers were govt trained and were Heroin chi or drug abducted and were used for the said tasks

    The claim of Taliban killing were also of the drug abducted personals for to convince the US nothing else

    The main center of the Taliban are still operative and no damage done and why as they were used by the regime for the sake of power

    All liberal and open minded Pakistani were jailed or detained judges, lawyers and HR

    Who gains by her assisnation? The US, their puppet Mr. Musharraf stood a good chance of losing an election. In which case the US would have to groom another puppet and perhaps not at all cooperative as Pervez Musharraf. You can bet Musharraf did it, but just like Mr. Nego Ponte was sent to TELL him to remove the Emergency Law immediately Mr. Pervez Musharraf recieved the green light on Ms. Bhutto's assisination.
    And anybody, no matter how late it maybe today, had anything to do in an official capacity with the Kennedy Assasination can hardly be considered credible. That was one of the most diabolical murders by the US Government in which the arms of the Illuminists and Globalists were the CIA, FBI and Secret Service.
    For several days all air traffic was grounded within the US after 911, all except some members of the Ben Laddin family who seem to have a very cozy relationship with the present President of the US. US didn't know about the assasination plans? Not likely!

      That explains a lot about Elvis' supposed death, Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, the Sasquatch sightings, and the Bermuda Triangle! How Illuminati-ing!

    George "Wr"ong man Bush has poured Americas money down a sand hole when it comes to Musharraf and his wisdom to take Bush's Money and build himself a nice nest egg (Remember folks that is Americas money not Stupid George's !!
    You can't buy friends, although I will say George is smart enough not to use his Billions !!!

    No one has commented on Bhutto's own security's responsibility for this. Why was she allowed to put her head and body out of the sunroof? If she, or her security, had kept her inside the bulletproof vehicle, she would be alive today. The others in the SUV suffered minor or no injuries from the blast and gunshots. There may be other issues as well in terms of the actual assassin and complicity with the government security forces, but had she stayed inside the vehicle as it left, it would almost be a moot point.

    The piece is verybalanced and appears to be based on available facts. It avoids the usual exagerations and theorizing that only muddle the issue. A perceptive piece, indeed.

    The assassination was completed with obvious tacit cooperation through a maximum of negligence. The woman was also irresponsible and naive contributing to her own death by tempting fate but she WAS murdered . Parhaps two attempts were made on her life coincidentally by two differing schools of interest and there are many who wanted her demise. In all the people of Pakistan will miss her but they will ewnd up with a twenty year old rich kid as close to a King without the title as a person can get. they deserve it seeing as they are conflicted and schizoid when it comes to their governments. As for America , well they will deal with whomesoever delivers the OSBladen bogey they now desire to lynch. Pakistan is in mortal danger of breaking up into its federated parts and isappearing into oblivion just fifty something years after the british brought it into being amidst some of the greatest bloodshed ever seen. Britain has much to answer for!!

    Now what I don't understand is why are the US congressmen/women-senators are so interested in Benazir? She was a corrupt politicians of another country. Don't the lawmakers are elected and paid by the people to serve them? Are the US lawmakers elected by the people/govt of Pakistan? There are problems at home that need more attention than a dead corrupt politician of another country. We need to stop meddling with the affairs of other countries. There are enough problems here at home to keep the lawmakers busy for their lifetime, the economy is going sour, oil is going thru the roof, people are losing their homes, unemployment is going up, everything around is getting outsourced, and what are the lawmakers doing???? Worrying about a dead corrupt policitician of another country. HEY CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN AND SENATOR, GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!, i.e. serve your own people!!!!

    Why is the UK and the US so interested in Pakistan? Who cares whether Musharraf lied or not? Bush lied and nobody cared!
    The US is actually trying to sabotage the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline that was endorsed by Musharraf. This pipeline will supply gas to India via Pakistan and ultimately create a big hole in the sanction against Iran.
    The US brokered the return of both Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Shariff to remove Musharraf. Musharraf will have to kill both to stay in power, but the US will kill Musharraf first before that happens.

      what you say seems so preposterours it may very well be true, going by recent events. I hadn't thought about so clear an oil angle to this.
      I bet Scotland yard will find a fractured skull when they exhume Bhutto's body. They may find a couple bullet holes but those wounds could well be argued as postmortem.

    It's not negligence. It was a murder sponsored by the Pakistani government that it is covering up. There are obvious benefits to the dictator - for example, an excuse to postpone elections.

    The only one to blame of the assination of Bhutto is C??A. This is the one and only truth about it.

    • Posted By: june_bug_777 @ 01/02/2008 10:12:08 PM

      You're nuts, and probably an extremist yourself.

    • Posted By: JRWhittler @ 01/02/2008 7:58:55 PM

      Aykee's claim that the CIA is behind Bhutto's assassination is disingenuous and runs counter to U.S interests. Bhutto was willing to allow U.S. forces to enter Pakistan from Afghanistan to pursue and destroyTaliban and Al-Qaida forces. It is within U.S. strategic interests to destroy the Taliban and Al-Qaida organizations and to bring stability to Pakistan. Ergo, it was more in the interests of the Taliban and Al-Qaida to kill her. I'd believe Aykee's claim about the CIA only if he can demonstrate that it is Al-Qaida that is pulling the strings within the CIA.

    This is a disgrace that the Doctor attending Benazir Bhutto and the information minister have different statements and PAK govt telling Doct to keep his mouth shut. Attending physician, Bhuttos aides traveling with her/friends/ nurses at the hospital, a person who Bathed Bhutto before she was drapped in the Coffin are the most reliable people for info about if there were any wounds on her body.Pak Govt should not be trusted at all. International inquiry should be completely INDEPENDENT, not to help Pak Inquiry. It is a waste of US tyax payers money to give money/aid to Musharraf/PAK govet to fight terrorism. What a shame.
