"Pakistan: Al-Qaida behind Bhutto killing" by Munir Ahmed, Associated Press | December 28, 2007
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan --Pakistan's government asserted Friday that al-Qaida was behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and offered the transcript from a phone tap as proof. Hundreds of thousands mobbed her funeral as the army tried to quell rioting across the nation that left 27 dead.
President Pervez Musharraf's government also said Bhutto was not killed by gunshots or shrapnel as originally claimed. Instead, it said her skull was shattered by the force of a suicide bomb blast that slammed her against a lever in her car's sunroof.
Pentagon officials said Friday they have seen nothing to give them any worries about the security of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. The government said it would hunt down those responsible for her death in the lawless tribal areas along the Afghan border where Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders are thought to be hiding.
Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema:
"They will definitely be brought to justice."
The government released a transcript Friday of a purported conversation between militant leader Baitullah Mehsud and another militant.
Mehsud, according to the transcript:
"It was a spectacular job. They were very brave boys who killed her."
The government did not release an audiotape.
I'm tired of having bullshit shoveled at me by the shit AmeriKan MSM, readers!
Cheema described Mehsud as an al-Qaida leader who was also behind most other recent terror attacks in Pakistan, including the Karachi bomb blast in October against Bhutto that killed more than 140 people. In the transcript, Mehsud gives his location as Makin, a town in South Waziristan.
The WHY AIN'T YOU GOT HIM YET, murderers?
On Thursday, authorities had said Bhutto died from bullet wounds fired by a young man who then blew himself up. A surgeon who treated her, however, said Friday she died from the impact of shrapnel on her skull.
So SOMEONE IS LYING, and I think we ALL KNOW WHO!!!!!!!
But later Friday, Cheema said those two accounts were mistaken. He said all three shots missed her as she greeted supporters through the sunroof of her vehicle, which was bulletproof and bombproof. He also denied that shrapnel caused her death, saying Bhutto was killed when she tried to duck back into the vehicle, and that the shock waves from the blast knocked her head into a lever attached to the sunroof, fracturing her skull. The government released a photograph showing blood on the lever.
Yeah, that should convince everyone!
Denying charges the government failed to give her adequate security protection, Cheema said it was Bhutto who made herself vulnerable and pointed out that the other passengers inside Bhutto's bombproof vehicle were fine.
Oh, I see!
The MUSHARAFF GOVERNMENT is NOW CLAIMING that the assassination was HER FAULT!
Like BLAMING a RAPE VICTIM, huh?
What a BAND of CRIMINAL MURDERERS who RUN Pakistan!
Rioters in the southern city of Karachi torched 500 vehicles, 13 banks, seven gas stations and two police stations, police chief Azhar Farooqi said. The violence killed 13 people, including five workers in a garment factory that was set ablaze, police said. A shootout between rioters and police wounded three officers, police said.
Another six people died from suffocation in Mirpurkhas, about 200 miles northeast of Karachi, when a bank building was set on fire, said Ghulam Mohammed Mohtaram, the top civilian security official in Sindh province.
About 7,000 people in the central city of Multan ransacked seven banks and a gas station and threw stones at police, who responded with tear gas. Media reports said 200 banks were attacked nationwide.
Vandals also burned 10 railway stations and several trains across Sindh province, forcing the suspension of all train service between Karachi and the eastern Punjab province, said Mir Mohammed Khaskheli, a senior railroad official. An Associated Press reporter saw nine cars of a train completely burned. Witnesses said all the passengers were pulled out before the train was torched.
Desperate to quell the violence, the government sent troops into the streets of Hyderabad, Karachi and other areas in Sindh. In Hyderabad, the soldiers refused to let people out of their homes, witnesses said. The army readied 20 battalions of troops for deployment across Sindh if they were needed to stop the violence.
Paramilitary rangers were also given the authority to use live fire to stop rioters from damaging property in the region, said Maj. Asad Ali, the rangers' spokesman. Many cities were nearly deserted as businesses closed and public transportation came to a halt."
Pakistan is now a FREE-FIRE ZONE!!!!
And MUSHARAFF, your GRIP IS SLIPPING, murderer!
"Hundreds of thousands mourn slain former leader; many blame government" by Ashraf Khan, Associated Press | December 29, 2007
GARHI KHUDA BAKHSH, Pakistan - Some in the crowd shouted "General, killer!" and "army, killer!" in reference to President Pervez Musharraf, who was accused by Bhutto supporters of being complicit in the slaying or - at the least - not providing her enough security. The government has denied that charge, and leaders of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party tried to quiet the screamers.
Why?
People who gathered for the funeral yesterday repeatedly chanted slogans against former top officials in Sindh and Punjab provinces who are members of the ruling, pro-Musharraf party.
Rehmatullah, 25, who goes by one name:
"We Sindhis do not want Pakistan anymore. Why is it only Sindhi prime ministers are assassinated or killed? Now we will bring revolution."
"U.S. investigating allegations of Al Qaeda role" by Randall Mikkelsen Reuters | December 29, 2007
WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence agencies worked yesterday to determine the accuracy of a Pakistan Interior Ministry statement that intercepted communications linked Al Qaeda to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
You mean, THIS "Al-CIA-Duh?"
An al Qaeda role in the murder of Benazir Bhutto would show that the militant group can dramatically thwart U.S. foreign policy more than six years after President George W. Bush set out to defeat it.
Pffffffffttttt!
Michael Scheuer, a former CIA employee who led the hunt for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden:
"Sometimes I think that bin Laden and Zawahri must shake their heads and say, 'It's all too easy.'"
This guy and "bin Laden!" Gimme a break.
The CIA send this guy out to promote this garbage!!!!!!!!!!!
Pakistan said militant Baitullah Mehsud was behind the killing and it called him an al Qaeda leader. A U.S. counterterrorism official described Mehsud, who had previously threatened Bhutto, as a tribal leader and "seasoned jihadist with strong links to al Qaeda, the Taliban and other terrorist organizations."
Some analysts remained skeptical, saying it served Musharraf's interests to focus attention on al Qaeda while his own government faced domestic suspicions of complicity.
Former U.S. counterterrorism official Richard Clarke:
"The Pakistanis are probably lying."
Ya think?
But if true,
And then the MSM RUNS WITH IT!
Agenda-pushing BULLSHITTERS!
al Qaeda's orchestration shows that it can launch significant strikes from the western Pakistan tribal areas where it regrouped after a U.S.-led invasion routed it from neighboring Afghanistan in 2001, analysts said.
Al Qaeda has "physical and psychological space to recruit, train terrorist operatives and plan attacks," the U.S. counterterrorism official said. When bin Laden issued a new video before this year's sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, then-White House homeland security adviser Fran Townsend dismissed him as "virtually impotent." However, a national intelligence estimate in July described al Qaeda's revived strength and command abilities, often working through regional groups.
Pushing the agenda!
Al Qaeda's goal is not so much to attack inside the United States but to drive it from the region, Scheuer said.
But, but, but....
Bush is ALWAYS WARNING US of an ATTACK on the HOMELAND!!!!!!
Are you saying Bush is HYPING a "THREAT?"
Noooooooooooooooo!
Scheuer, in characterizing support for Bhutto's return by the United States and Britain:
"It was not right to push her to her death. What I really find in a way disgusting is that Mr. Bush's fingerprints, (British Prime Minister) Gordon Brown's fingerprints and the fingerprints of most of our presidential candidates are on Mrs. Bhutto's corpse."
In MORE WAYS than you can imagine, Mike!!!!
"Questions rise on US support for Musharraf; Democracy, fighting terror are key issues" by Farah Stockman and Bryan Bender Boston Globe | December 29, 2007
Why should there be any questions?
I was just told that "Al-CIA-Duh" did it!!!
WASHINGTON - A growing number of voices in Congress, influential think tanks, and inside the Bush administration are urging the White House to reconsider its open-ended support for embattled Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying his increasingly autocratic rule is impeding fair elections, and his usefulness in rooting out violent Islamic extremists has run its course.
Getting ready to cut Mushy loose, huh?
As unrest swept through Pakistan yesterday after the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, US officials said publicly they remain committed to their current diplomatic strategy: encourage Musharraf to hold parliamentary elections as soon as possible, and quietly support his increasingly tenuous grip on power.
Some current and former Pentagon officials recommend that the US government strengthen its relationship with Pakistani General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, whom Musharraf hand-picked to serve as army chief of staff, and who has maintained strong ties to the US military, studying at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
American authorities believe that Kayani may one day eclipse Musharraf as the most powerful person in the country. US policy has a massive influence on the struggling South Asian nation.
OUR NEW MAN then!
Two of the Republican presidential contenders, Senator John McCain of Arizona and Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor, said yesterday that if elected they would follow Bush's policy of giving large amounts of aid to Musharraf, a leader they believe can provide stability and fight terrorism in the nuclear-armed Islamic nation.
McCain said in an interview yesterday on CBS:
"Musharraf has done most of the things we wanted him to do. [Pakistan] was a failed state before he came to power."
Then that means that the SAINTED DEMOCRATIC MARTYR and "chairperson for life" BHUTTO was a FAILURE, Johnny?
Talk about an INSENSITIVE COMMENT, huh?
President Bush held the same view when he campaigned for president in 1999, when a Boston television station asked him to name the Pakistani general who had just taken power in a coup.
Bush couldn't remember Musharraf's name, but said:
"It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country. I think that's good news."
And America "elected" this guy president?
Two years later, Bush and Musharraf met for the first time, in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. The meeting cemented a new alliance between the two countries. Bush helped push more than $10 billion in military and economic aid to Pakistan, while Musharraf allowed his territory and intelligence agencies to be used to assist the US-led war against the Taliban - a former close ally of Pakistan.
Musharraf also opened critical supply lines to US troops fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan. But over the past year, US officials have begun to doubt Musharraf.
Bye, Mushy!
And look at how the MSM just dances all over the ISI/Al-CIA-Duh/Taliban ties that led to 9/11!
Adil Najam, a professor of global politics at Boston University:
"The big picture in Pakistan is we have a guy there who is increasingly unpopular and the more we back him the more unpopular he becomes. Just about any political leader at this point - even the religious parties - would do at least as much as he is doing in the war on terrorism. And they will do it for the same reason he is: it is in their interest. He is not doing a great deal anyhow."
But President Bush - so far - is believed to remain loyal to Musharraf, a man he says is struggling to bring Pakistan into a modern, secular era."
He's a MILITARY DICTATOR!
What a fucking lying idiot Bush is!
