Pakistan Officially Blames Non-Qaeda Terror Group For Bhutto Slaying
Investigation suddenly complete! The Pakistani Interior Ministry is blaming Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Pakistani terrorist group not really linked to al-Qaeda, for Benazir Bhutto's assassination:
The Pakistani Interior Ministry said Friday the suicide bomber who killed Benazir Bhutto has been identified as belonging to a militant group with links to al Qaeda, Pakistan's GEO TV reported.The ministry said the attacker was with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi -- a Sunni Muslim militant group that the Pakistani government has blamed for hundreds of killings -- according to the report.
There was no sign the group has claimed responsibility for the attack on the Pakistan opposition leader.
That would seem to support my former U.S. intelligence official's hypothesis. Of course, the idea that the interior ministry has solved the crime already, or that it has no motive to deceive, needs to be put under heavy scrutiny.

Round up the usual suspects. By blaiming a "local" terrorist group, then there is no basis for Pakistan to go to the frontier regions where the real al Quada is located. How convenient.

I have been personally investigated this crime and it appears that a messenger apparently either from Allah or Christ's papa put the ‘Okay’ out on indiscriminate and discriminant single and mass murder . Its all okally dokally in a godly and religiously approved murder go round . Our four branches of Government , By the god , For the god , Of the god , and in Secrecy of the god has winked and nodded approval for years on this and other assorted goodly and godly murder . It just makes you feel good all over , so good you might need to express it with a righteous murder ! Dragging folks to death is deemed proper for a sacrifice to the White god . Hangin’ burnin’ all good godly stuff by golly . So kill for the god of your own choosin’ and get a free tank of gas ! Just make sure you all choose right now ! Be the first Ace on your block ! Twenty kills and you get your wings ! sigh ...

Pakistan is for all practical purposes a rogue terrorist state. They were on the list of rogue nations before 9/11 only to to be taken off the list by Bush in their cooperation on the so-called war on terror(gag). Musharraf came into power in 1999 because of a coup he initiated and is basically trying to give phoney legitimacy to his government while Pakistan becomes a haven and breeding ground for terrorists. Which part of this terrorist network killed Bhutto really doesn't matter. It is Pakistan that is the source and Bush policies have basically been enabling a terrorist nation.

The latest forensic polling from Pakistan shows a three-way dead heat for credit for killing Benzir Bhutto. Going into next week's all-important Iowa caucuses the Taliban, al-Quaeda, and Bhutto herself are in a statistical tie to answer the question Who killed her?

In the 'General's Labyrinth' Marquez tells that Bolivar knew, and liked, his attempted assassinator, so he had another less liked general executed 'for lack of evidence'.

Let me simplify. The pakistani intelligence assasinated Butto with the blessing of Musharaf and the US was at least complicent. Al Queda released that they dont assasinate women...but in reality I think that certain elements of Al Queda are surrogates for the ISI, pakistani intelligence. The Pakistani government was caught in a lie saying that Butto died via a head injury. Then the police refused to allow an autopsy and claimed it was her husband that didnt want one. After the assasination the US recommended that the elections go as previously thought. Strange comment to make when a leading candidate is assasinated. The CIA has given ISI a lot of funding..the ISI has helped harbour the Taliban and cut deals with Al Queda. The ISI sent money to Mohammad Atta before 911. Do your own research..If you look at history its nothing new. Go to freedocumentaries.org
