"Benazir was not only a leader of Pakistan but also a leader of international fame. We express our deep grief and shock over her death," Omar said.

Advice: next time, I hope your lie could be more sophisticated.

If AQ was involved they had plenty of help from Paki intelligence or security officials.

You may want to hold your fire on this one.

This assassination reminds me of the Kennedy assassination in a lot of ways.

The CIA and the Mafia (Carlos Marcello--"get that stone out of my shoe") and LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover wanted Kennedy dead.

Some may have been involved in the planning and execution, others in the coverup that followed. Sorting out who is who after the fact has proved extremely difficult.

At least in the Paki case we won't have to deal with the "lone nut" crowd.

The Pakistani government says that she died of head injuries when her head slammed against the sun-roof. One of the reports also mentioned no bullet holes in her body. However, a friend of hers in whose car Benazir was taken to hospital, claimed today that there was a bullet hole that traced the path of a bullet entering, and leaving, her neck.

Well, if Al Queda says they didn’t do it, they didn’t do it.

Terrorists always tell the truth.

The Paki official that I saw making a statement regarding this said that "there were no bullets seen in her head in an X-ray". Stands to reason that if she were shot in the abdomen and neck, there would not be any bullets in her head......

Hmm, that makes sense then. I thought I read that according to them there were no bullet holes anywhere... the article was here on FR itself.

It was stupid for Bhutto to be sticking her neck out of the sunroof of a stopped SUV.

Her assassination was inevitable because she wouldn’t take proper precautions. Her followers are socialist fanatics who will try to pin this on Musharriff for strictly political purposes.

I personally believe the government’s explanation. There would be no reason to lie about a bullet in the neck. Either way she is dead.

And our own socialist fanatics -- CNN, Clinton, and others -- will do what they can from here to destabilize Pakistan on the time-tested theory that "anything bad for America is good for the American Left".

The Paki government said that they were no bullet injuries on her head,but in her neck & chest.Well,her confidante & companion,Sherry Rehman who was present there & also got injured said that she saw the head wound.

The amount of blood in the vehicle as well as the few pics of her as well as reports of brain matter oozing out points to a bullet wound rather than her head hitting the roof(you can only be seriously injured if you are driving at 100 mph).

About why Benazir decided to stick her head out-folks,welcome to electioneering in the subcontinent.

The people who are blaming Musharriff for the Bhutto assassination are the same kind of people who are blaming George Bush for the WTC 9/11.

They are poisoned with hate , so they make up crazy stories, and actually believe them.

First video frames of Bhutto being shot

29 Dec 2007, 1742 hrs IST,Times Now
Video shows gunshots being fired at Benazir Bhutto’s Landcruiser, seconds before a blast is triggered. The grab brings the govt version of the killing under darker cloud.

Since it’s an Indian website,lots of folks will doubt it’s veracity.

THinking about this, though, I fear that the Facists have played the cards too early, that if this spirals out of control before Queen Charlatan is coronated, that the American People just might see the handwriting on the wall and go for a gumment that is committed to defending Liberty. I sure hope so.

"expressed sadness over her assassination on Thursday."

Sad like Bill Clinton at a Ron Brown funeral.

Running scared is what it is, Musharraf has been forced to take off the gloves or face an overthrow.

Seventeen posts and the fallacy in current reporting has not been pointed out.

If Benizer died as a result of a concussion/sunroof encounter, how could the persons in the telephone call have been involved?

Although there may have been a bombing, that was not the cause of death.

In #11, I have posted a link to the video where the gunman firing three shots is visible, and then a big blast covers the camera’s field.

I'm sure AQ-P will try to pin this on Mush, as well.
