More case scenario on the Bhutto assassination. What NEXT??

The US CIA and Pakistani ISI probably wanted the 
Bhutto assassination to look like an al-CIA-dun op 
but the Pakistanis are considering what is behind it all.

So even now as the US pushes for a quick vote in Pakistan, the
Pakistani news is backpeddling on their own statements about the 
death of a prominent force in that US-backed military 
dictatorship.

Blowback is a bitch for the US these days.  Can't we just leave them
all alone?  (oh, but the oil control game is too profitable for war
machines and big energy.) 

And the US and Israel needs all that fuel to 
keep the jets flying to have their 100-year plan CONTINUE.

Pakistan Govt Reversal On
Cause Of Bhutto's death

In a dramatic U-turn, Pakistan government has "apologised" for claiming
that former premier Benazir Bhutto died of a skull fracture after
hitting the sunroof of her car during a suicide attack.  

Caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz Khan has asked the media and
people to "forgive and ignore" comments made by his ministry's spokesman
Javed Iqbal Cheema which were slammed by her Pakistan People's Party as
"lies" and led to an uproar at home and abroad.  

The Interior Minister made the apology during a briefing for Pakistani
newspaper editors on Monday. Punjab province on Tuesday issued a
front-page advertisement in newspapers that offered a reward of Rs 1 crore
for information about a gunman and a suspected suicide bomber seen in the
photos and video footage of the assassination.  

The government's apparent damage control exercise on Cheema's comments
made at a news conference a day after Bhutto was assassinated at
Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi on December 27, came after TV channels aired
privately shot photos and video footage which showed a gunman shooting at
Bhutto.  

The Pakistan People's Party leader is seen in the footage falling
through the sun-roof before the suicide bomber detonated his explosives. The
briefing by caretaker Prime Minister Mohammedmian Soomro was also
attended by the foreign, interior and information ministers and senior
officials.  

"Editor after editor lambasted the government for its non-serious
attitude towards the tragedy, specially the statement that Bhutto had died
by hitting the lever and not (due to) a bullet or shrapnel," The News
reported.  

During the briefing, an editor asked why spokesman Cheema had said that
a lever on the sun-roof had caused a fatal injury when the
manufacturers of the car and Bhutto's husband Asif Ali Zardari had stated that
there was no metallic lever that could have caused the wound.  

Khan said the spokesman's comments may have been a mistake as "we are
faujis (soldiers) and we are not so articulate to present our views as
you journalists can". Both the interior minister and spokesman Cheema
are retired army officers.  

"I am sorry if that happened and please forgive us and ignore the
comment," he told the editors. Earlier, Prime Minister Soomro tried to
defend the interior ministry's spokesman, saying he was just relaying facts
that had been told to him, especially about the cause of death.  

"We are conducting an investigation and all TV footage, all evidence,
that would be available will help in reaching a definite conclusion,"
Soomro told the editors.  
But the editors asked more questions, especially with reference to the
medical report of doctors of Rawalpindi General Hospital who treated
Bhutto.  

They "emphatically pointed out that the report quoted by the spokesman
never mentioned the cause of the head injury" to Bhutto. The report
only said there was a skull fracture which caused cardio- pulmonary
arrest, the editors pointed out. Soomro then referred the issue to Interior
Minister Khan. He explained in detail the security measures taken and
asserted that Bhutto had a bulletproof vehicle which could not be damaged
by a bomb or bullets.  

Once she was inside it, she was secure and police vans were trying to
keep her car clear of other vehicles. But when she emerged from the
sun-roof she exposed herself to an attack, Khan said.  

"Nothing would have happened to her even if every one in the world had
wanted to hurt her," the Minister added. Soomro was repeatedly asked
whether he would allow a foreign investigation into the murder but he
asserted that Pakistani experts were competent to do the job.  

His denial raised questions from the editors about the offer made by
President Pervez Musharraf to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to
consider foreign help in probing the assassination.  

Meanwhile, the advertisement issued by Punjab's Home Ministry included
two photos of the suspected assailant and the severed head of the
suspected bomber.  

"The public is hereby informed that the two individuals in the above
photographs are the accused terrorists in the Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi
terror attack, which resulted in the death of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and
others,"
 it said.  

"The government of Punjab has announced a cash award of Rs 1 crore for
lead information and any solid evidence." The advertisement said the
names of persons providing any information would be kept "strictly
confidential". It also sought the cooperation of the people for "dismantling
of terrorist network".
