Deep-Insight

Everybody who has been following political news in Asia must be aware that there exists a theory that government might have played a role in Bhutto assassination. Now let us analyze the situation for a bit, does this not sound strange that all the videos, all the clues all lead to one conclusion that Musharraf did it. I am no supporter of President Musharraf’s rule in Pakistan but don’t you think that the man deserves some credit. He was Chief of Staff of Pakistan’s armed forces and no doubt he must have the ability to analyze tense situations measuring all the pros and cons. What I mean to say is wouldn’t musharraf have known should Bhutto die under his watch the blame would fall squarely on his shoulders. In my opinion if I was him I would have been busying myself in ensuring Bhutto’s security.

Yes, Musharraf must have feared losing power to Bhutto’s government but by (supposedly) assassinating Bhutto what has he gained. Increased pressure to restore democracy, a strong sympathy vote for Bhutto’s party, riots raging throughout Pakistan and to top that up he seem to have resolved the leadership issues which would have come into play if both Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto were to share power. So by supposedly assassinating Bhutto he has benefited opposition more than himself.

However this article does not eliminates government role in the assassination, just the fact that the support must have come from some lower levels rather than the top man himself. The coincidence factor in Bhutto’s assassination is too high and smells strongly of foul play. Assassins knew the route from where Bhutto was to make her exit, they knew exactly when Bhutto would be exposed, absence of mobile jammers …. The list goes on and on. Besides this now there are further doubts being cast over what caused her death the explosion or the bullets. All this would not have been possible without some sort of government cover-up. Perhaps answer to these questions would never be known but one thing I feel sure about is Mushharaf is going to have a tough time nonetheless.
