The PPP says the US and Pakistani spy agencies are the number one suspects behind the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.I'll give them this much: We never should have recommended she return to Pakistan; that much is obvious.
"Her assassination is calculated. Her killing is a fascist act. US Central Intelligence agency (CIA) and Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) should shoulder responsibility for her assassination," Amanullah Khan, a Britain-based leader of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) said on Wednesday night, the Times of India reported.
He added Bhutto was longing to go back to Pakistan in her effort to restore democracy there but was 'deceived and stabbed in the back by the CIA and ISI'.
Meanwhile, Khalid Mahmood, a Labor MP, has said Bhutto knew the threat to her life but the 'West cajoled and forced her to return to Pakistan.'
But the notion the CIA somehow was behind her assassination is absurd. At least it'll give the crackpot conspiracists on the left something new to babble about.
