Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto names the 16-year-old son of Usama Bin Laden as the leader of one of four gangs of designated assassins sent to kill her in a posthumous autobiography excerpted in The Times of London on Sunday.
Bhutto, who was assassinated as she left a rally in Rawalpindi in December, revealed she was warned by both President Pervez Musharraf and a friendly Muslim government that Hamza Bin Laden was planning her murder.
The naming of Bin Ladens teenage son appears to bolster intelligence claims that Hamza is being groomed as a future leader of Al Qaeda.

Bhutto, who was assassinated as she left a rally in Rawalpindi in December, revealed she was warned by both President Pervez Musharraf and a friendly Muslim government that Hamza Bin Laden was planning her murder.
The naming of Bin Ladens teenage son appears to bolster intelligence claims that Hamza is being groomed as a future leader of Al Qaeda.
In her new autobiography, Bhutto writes: I was told by both the Musharraf regime and the foreign Muslim government that four suicide bomber squads would attempt to kill me. These included, the reports said, the squads sent by the Taliban warlord Baitullah Mehsud; Hamza Bin Laden, a son of Osama Bin Laden; Red Mosque militants; and a Karachi-based militant group.
Last September Hamza was described in reports as a senior Al Qaeda leader who had been waging jihad in the lawless tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Time to do a reprisal of “Killing the Sons of Saddam”, starring Hamza Bin Laden in the leading role.

Rather undermines her family’s insistence that the Musharraf government was responsible, doesn’t it?
And didn’t Al Qaeda take responsiblity for the assassination?

From
The Times Online ^:
He [Musharraf] said that he was concerned about my security and my safety, but his supporters did very little to provide the necessary protection we needed: jammers that worked, street lights that worked, roads that had been cleared of empty cars that could carry improvised explosive devices protection to which I was entitled as a former prime minister.
I had become aware, through messages sent by Musharraf, that suicide squads might be sent from the North West Frontier Province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas to try to assassinate me immediately on my return. I had actually received from a sympathetic Muslim foreign government the names and cellphone numbers of designated assassins.
I was told by both the Musharraf regime and the foreign Muslim government that four suicide bomber squads would attempt to kill me. These included, the reports said, squads sent by the Taliban warlord Baitullah Mehsud; Hamza Bin Laden, a son of Osama Bin Laden; Red Mosque militants; and a Kara-chi-based militant group.
Musharrafs regime knew of the specific threats against me, including the names and numbers of those who planned to kill me, and the names of others including those in his own inner circle and in his party whom we believed were conspiring. Despite our request, we received no reports on what actions were taken before my arrival as a follow-up to these warnings.
I wrote a letter to Musharraf. I told him that if I was assassinated by the militants it would be due to their sympathisers in his regime, whom I suspected wanted to eliminate me and remove the threat I posed to their grip on power.
She was an avowed socialist and a Muslim, but more than that, she was something that the Islamist Mullahs could not abide -- a woman with more gonads that all of them put together.

THIS is Osama Bin Ladens school-age son, who yesterday continued his fathers mission of hate with a POEM begging for Britain to be destroyed.
Baby-faced Hamza Bin Laden just 16 but already dubbed the Crown Prince of Terror also ranted in his evil ode that the US and our other allies must be wiped out.
