We will probably never know who was directly responsible for Benazir Bhutto's death. We do know that the Taliban and Al-Queada had made deaths threats against her if she returned to Pakistan, but she was also a thorn in Musharraf's side. What is interesting though is that she was assassinated as soon as the state of emergency and emergency security measures were lifted.
Posted at 2007-12-29 09:57:41 [PermaLink]correct me is i'm wrong but i seem to recall a article stating that she had refused security. of course that could easily have been a planted story in light of the email received by siegal.

They sound like odd complaints for someone with the habit of standing up through an open sunroof.

There are a lot of political strongmen in this world who've survived multiple assassination attempts, Musharrif among them, by being cautious. Very very cautious. Unfortunately, that's not a crowd pleaser.
