| No foreigners to investigate Karachi blasts: Musharraf |
| 2007-10-26 |
| President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Thursday rejected the demand of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto for foreign experts to assist the probe into the Karachi blasts and said Pakistani agencies were capable of investigating such incidents. Sources said the president and the prime minister met at the president’s camp office in Rawalpindi and reviewed the progress made by the investigators of ther October 19 blasts. They said they were confident about the capabilities of local security agencies, as the agencies had, in the past, successfully exposed the perpetrators of attacks carried out on them, sources said. “No foreign agency will be included in the investigation,” sources quoted the president as saying. |

| #5 FBI and ATF investigative assistance rejected Moose? He missed a rare opportunity I'd say. They'd have buggered it up properly within a few short hours! |

| #4 They said they were confident about the capabilities of local security agencies... Even though members of it were almost certainly complicit in the attack itself. |

| #2 He either already knows the answer or at least has a real good guess, and does not want anybody on the outside to officially find it out. In the Byzantine world of Islamic politics anything is possible; we may belive it was 'bunnies, or Bugtis, or ISI, or ..., but it could even have been Bhutto. We really just don't know for sure. |
