Benazir Bhutto Killed In Attack

[Allamagan]

While AlQaida denied killing Bhutto, it seems now that CIA was somehow involved in Bhutto's tragic death thats what this two articles (below) are suggesting.

 

Report: Bhutto was no more US friend

Benazir Bhutto had distanced herself from a US-brokered deal between her and the Pakistani President before her death, reports say.

 

The Washington Post reported that former Pakistani PM Bhutto had sent a written complaint to a senior State Department official saying that her camp no longer viewed the backstage US move as a good-will effort towards democracy.

 

Instead, it was seen as an attempt to protect embattled President Pervez Musharraf as US President George W. Bush's man in Islamabad.

 

Since her return to Pakistan on Oct 18, Bhutto sent several urgent pleas to the State Department, seeking US assistance for better protection.

 

The US reaction was that she was worried over nothing, expressing assurance that Musharraf would not let anything happen to her.

 

Distraught by the lack of US interests in her protection, Bhutto began to distance herself from the US-backed power-sharing arrangement, the Post said.

 

"Bush was in a quandary. Bhutto was much tougher than Musharraf on extremists, but Bush had invested heavily in the Army General," the Post observed.

 

Bhutto was further disillusioned when President Musharraf imposed a state of emergency on Nov 3, but US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice telephoned and urged her to go along with that process in return for concessions from Musharraf.

 

"Bhutto agreed, but she got nothing in return," the Post noted.

 

The report added that the unsuccessful Oct. 18 attempt on Bhutto's life followed Islamabad's rejection of her requested security protection when she returned from eight years in exile.

Bhutto's killing 'fascist act of CIA'

The PPP says the US and Pakistani spy agencies are the number one suspects behind the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.

 

"Her assassination is calculated. Her killing is a fascist act. US Central Intelligence agency (CIA) and Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) should shoulder responsibility for her assassination," Amanullah Khan, a Britain-based leader of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) said on Wednesday night, the Times of India reported.

 

He added Bhutto was longing to go back to Pakistan in her effort to restore democracy there but was 'deceived and stabbed in the back by the CIA and ISI'.

 

Meanwhile, Khalid Mahmood, a Labor MP, has said Bhutto knew the threat to her life but the 'West cajoled and forced her to return to Pakistan.'

 

The son of the slain Pakistani opposition leader told reporters on Tuesday that Washington's policy of appeasing dictators is one of the main factors behind the expansion of extremism in the world.
