Who killed Benazir Bhutto? Is the question of the moment. And who poisoned his brother in Paris , made the army disfrace police pierce his other brother, who-finally-exterminating comes to the family of the "nearly-Pakistani premier" from the 90's?
These days Pakistan live and will live, rioting that serve the former general Musharraf to raise more money from Washington and perhaps declare another state of emergency, aware that the elections next year are now open wide . Can we present a group of hapless front of the cameras of CNN as indisputable perpetrators of the attack, in a research process as clean as the 8 years that imprisoned her husband for "discovering" that there was no evidence against him.
But in the Middle East hear the walls, in Karachi and everyone knows that Benazir Bhutto was murdered moments after his political rally by an Islamist suicide bomber sent by the local arm of Al Qaeda. The same as the local arm infiltrated the Pakistani army and almost no Pakistani army.
President Pervez Musharraf responsible for "Islamic extremists" (cognizant that it can not be more specific without provoking the wrath of Washington for its lack of fight against the Taliban), said that - now redouble its efforts to combat them. "This is the work of terrorists with which we have a war," stated a few hours ago in a televised speech. The Taliban control entire regions of Pakistan with the blessing of the former general. The hollow rhetoric is not limited to "partners for peace" Palestinians. Nawaz Sharif, leader of a rival party and the opposition close to the Taliban, demanding the immediate resignation of Musharraf and announced that his party boycotter elections. The Pakistan Muslim League also announced the same thing, but nobody believes that Bhutto dead, the Pakistani transition to democracy will have any meaning. Moreover, the Islamist parties' undemocratic homes do not need excuses for boycotting elections, especially disturbed by another Islamist suicide. That each draws their own conclusions.
The Islamist attack killed more than just the person Benazir Bhutto. There is probably murdered the option of modern democracy was expected in that troubled country. But above all, the pump yesterday shows that it is impossible to pacify a nation as chamberlain tormented by the violence Islamic, and also opens a dangerous question regarding nuclear stability when a government like Pakistani, which has such arms, is unable to provide the most basic security no longer at nuclear facilities, but in the street.
¿Who killed Benazir Bhutto? The elite of Pakistan to retain power in 2008.
