Musharraf Okayed BenazirÂ’s assassination: PakÂ’s UK envoy
2009-12-26
Lahore, December 26: Holding former President General Pervez Musharraf responsible for former Prime Minister Benazir BhuttoÂ’s assassination, PakistanÂ’s High Commissioner to Britain Wajid Shamsul Hassan has said that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud could not have proceeded with plans of assassinating Bhutto without MusharrafÂ’s nod.

A private television channel reported Hassan, as saying that if Benazir would have been alive, trouble for Musharraf would have doubled.

“Had Benazir been alive, Musharraf would have been facing legal action for murdering former Balochistan governor Nawab Akbar Bugti, and removing the chief justice of Pakistan,” The Daily Times quoted Hassan, as saying.

Hassan said Musharraf had offered a much ‘bigger’ amnesty under the National Reconciliation Ordinance to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif

#2  Curious lack of security at that rally, especially for someone who was car bombed just a short while before.

#1  That was the speculation here at the time of the assassination. Curious lack of security at that rally, especially for someone who was car bombed just a short while before.
