But the January 8 elections are still on. "Bhutto Killing Blamed On Terror Groups," from SkyNews (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
The assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, whose funeral was held today, has been blamed on al Qaeda and the Taliban.They were accused of the killing by Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz who said he had evidence which solved the "whole mystery".
He was speaking after Ms Bhutto was laid to rest in a ceremony attended by hundreds of thousands of grief-stricken mourners.
[...]
Ms Bhutto's murder has sparked violence across Pakistan and thrown next month's elections into doubt.
At least 32 people have died in the riots. Police have been told to shoot if necessary to maintain law and order.
Troops are patrolling the streets of Hyderabad and Karachi, where an earlier attempt was made on Ms Bhutto's life.
Despite the turmoil Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Mohammadmian Soomro has said elections will still go ahead on January 8.
"Right now the elections stand where they were," he told a news conference. "We will consult all the political parties to take any decision about it."...
after first attempt on her life, in october ms bhutto sent a letter to musharaff accusing zia ul haq's son. zia was responsible for hanging ms bhutto's father. zia's son knew if bhutto came to power it will not be good for him. zia's son was minister of religious affairs (incharge of promoting jihad) in mushy's govt. what is the point? well there people other than al qeada and taliban who wanted to kill ms bhutto. pakistan is on the verge of imploding and its nuclear assets are not safe.
The world sure doesn't need a Zia ul-Haq II.
No phony prophet was needed to forecast this event. It was the will of Allah and everyone in Pakistan knew it.
According to Malik's doctrine of war (the Muslim doctrine), a key to war is to show that your faith is stronger than your opponent. By showing that she was not afraid of Al Qaeda, Benezair Bhutto has shown that her faith was as strong as her opponents. She was not afraid of what Al Qaeda would do to her. In this way, she has accomplished in death what she never could have accomplished in life.

It is going to get worse ,looks like they have another problem here.
GrennBeck, I was about to post this info, which I got from ABC. I have it on because we are under tornado watch...In December!
I read the article, it looks rather hastily put out. Loads of typos and the last line sort of shoots their whole theory. Sorry about pun.
ABC put it out as thought they were hoping this would make it all go away. That was the tone.
Smells like a cover-up.

Here's an account by a western photographer who was close to the scene (video by CNN). I too was surprised to see her standing through the sunroof of her car waving at the crowd. Musharraf can't be responsible for that kind of carelessness. In another video on CNN you can see the assassin's hand raise up with a gun and fire 3 times. I'm not a big CNN fan but they've got the goods on this story.
GrennBeck and Aunt Bea,
Yeah, it does smell, and it does look very hastily cobbled together.
She wasn't shot, yet they tried for more than forty minutes to "revive her, after she had been shot"? Baffling.
A tragic end of an able but misguided daughter of Pakistan
Where as Musharraf was living by his initial undertaking with US to function as front state in US plans of War against Terrorism; only Musharraf well knows best that how many Pakistani military persons and civilian have so for been killed in the name of this phoney war to help US to bring about US global hegemonic greed to grow full.
Musharraf had no personal interests; he is out there doing best under the circumstances to wade through some ways in a good faith which only fall good in the interests of Pakistan. In case of Benazir Bhutto (on the dictations of US) to instate her back in power in Pakistan; he even agreed to lift the corruption charges against her and made all the arrangements for her smooth re-entry in Pakistan. And she did arrive back home.
But funny things started happening soon after her arrival. Washington rather than adopting the policy of ‘Run deep-Run silent’ and stay there calm in support of the issued scheme; stepped up an adverse and negative campaign against Musharraf. US started declaring him a spent cartridge and projected him a discredited President. US were doing every thing to depict him discredited, dysfunctional and to throw him; ousted as disgraced and humiliated. It is old bad habit of America to use his proxies as ‘tissue papers’ and ditches them by extermination; in a way that they are silenced for good.
Not only this; US also started boasting about Benazir Bhutto also; as a staunch US ally in a country where 70% people are against US in the global war on terror. Bhutto also bowed to the US rhetoric as a gesture to say a big thank you. This was a drastic miscalculation at her part to come back into power from back doors. After arrival she soon realised her folly and in order to back-pedal it and bring the masses in her favour, she heated up the political theatre by issuing fiery statement against Musharraf’s regime; who was by all means ready to step aside.
Where as Musharraf is not found dithering an inch in his resolve in the face of this campaign of malignity against him (except that he seems bit perplexed) but all this short sighted and ill aimed scheme of United States cost Miss Benazir… her life. It is a tragic end of an able but misguided daughter of Pakistan while playing in the hand of US friends.
