Probably because she was trying to make improvements or because she did not agree with the extremists

 

:D

 

 

because she is the west. wanted to bring democracy to pakistan. also being a woman probably didnt help.

Her government was highly corrupt the last time she was in power. There were rampant allegations of embezzlement. What a mess. Her convoy was bombed not too long ago as well. No idea how this will end up playing out.

Every time I see something like this it reminds me of how thankful I should be to live where I do. This is the kind of stuff we should all be reading in ancient history books, not what is happening now. It is a sad statement towards the right of choice for the people in that country.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Thursday citing an alleged claim of responsibility by al Qaeda for former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination, a DHS official told CNN.

 

 

An Italian news agency says al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri began planning Bhutto's killing in October.

The source of the claim was apparently Italian news agency, Adnkronos International (AKI), which said that al Qaeda Afghanistan commander and spokesman Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid had telephoned the agency to make the claim.

 

"We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahadeen," AKI quoted Al-Yazid as saying.

 

According to AKI, al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri set the wheels in motion for the assassination in October.

 

One Islamist Web site repeated the claim, but that Web site is not considered a reliable source for Islamist messages by experts in the field.

 

The DHS official said the claim was "an unconfirmed open source claim of responsibility" and the bulletin was sent out at about 6 p.m. to state and local law enforcement agencies.

 

The official characterized the bulletin as "information sharing."

 

 

 

"We are not in a position to confirm who may be responsible," Feinstein said.

 

Feinstein said that the intelligence community "obviously analyze(s) open source intelligence," but he would not say whether the community believes the claim has any validity.

 

For now, he said, there is "no conclusion" as to who may be responsible.

 

 

Earlier, DHS spokesman Russ Knocke said Bhutto's assassination had not prompted "any adjustments to our security posture."

 

"Of course, we continue to closely monitor events as they unfold overseas," he said

The attack yesterday at Rawalpindi bore the hallmarks of a sophisticated military operation. At first, Bhutto's rally was hit by a suicide bomb that turned out to be a decoy. According to press reports and a situation report of the incident relayed to The New York Sun by an American intelligence officer, Bhutto's armored limousine was shot by multiple snipers whose armor-piercing bullets penetrated the vehicle, hitting the former premier five times in the head, chest, and neck. Two of the snipers then detonated themselves shortly after the shooting, according to the situation report, while being pursued by local police. . . .
