"UPDATE 1: A spokesperson for the al-Qaeda terrorist network has claimed responsibility for the death on Thursday of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

"We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahadeen," Al-Qaeda's commander and main spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location, speaking in faltering English. Al-Yazid is the main al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.



Suicide bombing at site of Bhutto murder in Rawalpindi

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No. 2, the Egyptian doctor, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

Death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and ultimately one cell comprising a defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi's Punjabi volunteer succeeded in killing Bhutto.

Yeah...most folks overlook Pakistan cuz of Musharif (and his relationship with Bush), but they are as much a danger to the world as Iran. With all the factions and fighting amongst the factions, that place will explode before anyplace else IMO. But, not all folks are capable of living in a democracy...and the Middle East as a whole is a prime case in point.

Don't forget India and their conflict.

Isnt India an American ally?

Do they get along well with the folks from Pakistan? And we are helping the other group with their nuke program.

yep...and that's why it isn't a big issue in the news...India keeps em in check. But, heck, there conflict isn't over nothing but about 300 square miles of mud..lol
