Benazir’s Assassination Conflicting versions of the cause of Benazir Bhutto’s death have left the credibility of Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf in tatters and the government now must allow an international investigation of the assassination, according to a US-based aide to the former Prime Minister. Noting that in three days, four different versions of events have been put out by Pakistani officials, Husain Haqqani told The Tribune: “The credibility of the Musharraf regime is so low right now that the people of Pakistan would not believe anything the government says.” Currently director of the Center for International Relations at Boston University, Haqqani called for an international investigation into Bhutto’s death. Musharraf’s government has refused to allow foreign investigators to work on the case. Still, Haqqani insisted, “Only an international investigation of the type that followed the assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri could shed some light on the actual facts.” He said the government of Pakistan should have invited the FBI or Scotland Yard to investigate the first attack on Bhutto on October 18. “Its refusal to do so indicated that it had something to hide. This time too the forensic evidence has already been hosed down by fire engines soon after the attack,” he added. Aides to Bhutto, including some who were riding in the Land Cruiser in which she was attacked after a political rally in Rawalpindi on Thursday, say she was killed by a bullet that pierced her neck from the left. The Musharraf government maintains Bhutto died when she banged her head on the sunroof while trying to duck back into her vehicle. Bush administration officials and analysts say it is important that there be a transparent investigation into Bhutto’s assassination. This, they point out, is essential to ensure that the credibility of Musharraf, viewed as a key US ally in the so-called war on terror, is not undermined. Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies wrote in a paper that the assassination of “Bhutto or any other leading Pakistani opposition leader, would push Pakistan to the edge of civil conflict if there was any suspicion that Musharraf had any role in it such an action or that the Musharraf government knew of plans for an attempt and did not provide the maximum possible security.” State Department spokesman Tom Casey was asked if any personnel from the US Embassy in Islamabad were conducting any kind of investigation into the assassination. “Certainly, I am sure that to the extent that any of our staff at the Embassy have information or have an opportunity to look into these issues, they will,” Casey said. “Certainly, we have an interest in understanding exactly what happened. But if you’re asking is there any formal investigation by US Embassy officials going on, no, that’s not the case, not that I’m aware of.” Cordesman noted that the unfortunate reality is that the combined history of a de facto Musharraf coup and months of rising tensions in Pakistan make any major assassination potentially far more destabilising than in the past, could bring down the government over time, and will create probably months of instability and tension even if the government survived.

‘Benazir’s wound was bleeding after ablution’
Islamabad, December 30 Safia Bhutto, the woman who performed the ritual, told the Daily Times that she had seen the wound on the leader’s head that was bleeding continuously even after the bath. Bhutto was assassinated on December 27 shortly after she addressed an election rally at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi. Safia said she had not seen the actual wound because it was bandaged, but blood had oozed out of it. The bandage was wrapped around Bhutto’s head, covering her forehead and ears. She said she did not open the bandage because Bhutto’s family had forbidden her to do so. Safia said she bathed Bhutto while another woman from the village, Ghulam Sughra, poured
the water. She also said she could only partially bathe Bhutto because she was not permitted to move her body because of the wound. — PTI

Final moments belie govt claims
Islamabad, December 30 Abbassi told the British newspaper, Telegraph: “All of a sudden there was the sound of firing. I heard the sound of a bullet.” “I saw her (Benazir). She looked as though she ducked in when she heard the firing. We did not realise that she had been hit by a bullet...Moments later, the car was rocked by a huge explosion,” he added. Benazir, who remained silent, was oozing out blood from a deep wound on the left side of her neck. Naheeb Khan, Abbassi’s wife, cradled Benazir’s head in her lap and pressed her own headscarf into the wound in a bid to stop the blood flow. But the wound was deep and the blood seeped out, spreading down her neck and across her blue tunic, Abbassi recounted. Two new set of photographs released by some private television news channels here substantiate Abbassi’s claims. In one set of the new photographs taken from a mobile phone, one of the two assassins is seen clearly wearing a pair of dark sunglass and a light brown jacket aiming his gun at Bhutto when she was waving to the crowd from the SUV’s sunroof. The suicide bomber is also seen in the picture, which has been taken from a different angle, showing him wearing a white gown where only his face is visible. In another set of photographs taken from inside the SUV minutes after Bhutto was moved out to an ambulance, bloodstain is seen in the entire backseat of the SUV. A black sandal belonging to Bhutto is also seen lying near the seat. Abbassi refuted the government’s claim that Benazir hit the sunroof’s lever in the shockwave of the suicide blast. Just seconds before she was hit by the bullet, Benazir said “Jeay Bhutto (long live Bhutto),” Abbassi recounted. — ANI

PPP for probe based on Benazir’s letter to Mush
Islamabad, December 30 In the October 16 letter, Bhutto had named several people she believed were involved in an alleged plot to kill her. “It (the letter) was a dying declaration,” PPP leader Latif Khosa told Dawn. Khosa said former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi, former Sindh chief minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim, Intelligence Bureau chief Ijaz Shah and former Inter-Services Intelligence chief Hameed Gul should He said the police should have allowed PPP leader Makhdoom Amin Fahim or Naheed Khan, political secretary to Bhutto, to lodge an FIR in connection with her assassination. The police had washed the site at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi where Bhutto was attacked in order to erase evidence which would have led to the killers, alleged Khosa, a top lawyer. Khosa said when the whole world has seen the assassin shooting Bhutto with a handgun, the government was busy selling its “skewed stories”. The government is trying to convince people that she had hit her head against the lever of her vehicle’s sunroof after the suicide attacker detonated his explosives, he said. He also pointed out that none of the investigators had approached witnesses for a first-hand account of the incident. Khosa said the investigation into the October 19 suicide attacks on Bhutto’s rally in Karachi should also have been carried out on the basis of her letter written to the President. Bhutto had written another letter to the interior secretary on October 26, seeking foolproof security arrangements, he said. A copy of the letter was sent to Musharraf, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of Sindh High Court and the United Nations. Khosa said the PPP did not expect the government to conduct a clean and impartial investigation. Referring to the statement of US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton demanding an international probe into the assassination, he said this was
imperative. Former Supreme Court Bar Association president Hamid Khan said Benazir’s letter carried “great significance” because it was almost as important as a “dying statement”. — PTI

Anger, mistrust among bloggers
Karachi, December 30 He is one of many skeptics in the blogosphere - and also in Bhutto’ party - who do not accept the government’s version that she hit her head on the sun-roof of her car during an Al-Qaida suicide bomb and gun attack. “As I was expecting, the Pakistani government didn’t disappoint me and just after 24 hours they announced that assassination of Benazir was performed by whom? Yeah by very famous Al-Qaida or Talibans,” he says on his Kadnan.com blog. Suspicion and mistrust of the government here has fuelled activity in Pakistan’s politically active blogging community about who killed her and how she died in the attack at a political rally on Thursday. The insistence of the Pakistan People’s Party that their Late leader was shot in the head - completely at odds with the government’s position - has stoked the conspiracy theories. “When Musharraf made a public condolence on December 17 night on Benazir’s death and blamed terrorists to do this task, I had (to) figure out that the so-called government’s investigation team is going to hide (the) real criminals of this case,” Adnam writes. Another blogger, Fendi Khan, said: “Please don’t let it sink in your hearts that this political leader was killed by the extremist elements.” He goes on to accuse Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and another leading politician of being behind the killing of “our mother”, adding that: “May God give us the strength to avenge her sacrifice.” —

Al-Qaida may target Bhutto’s aides
Islamabad, December 30 District police chiefs in Punjab province were directed to take steps to counter Al-Qaida’s plans to target Bhutto’s top-aides, including her security advisor Rehman Malik, police sources were quoted as saying by Geo news channel. The sources also said Al-Qaida-linked Pakistani Taliban groups had been directed to target retired Judge Syed Ibn Ali, a PPP candidate for next month’s general election, and his son. The Pakistan government blamed Al-Qaida and Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud for carrying out the attack, but Mehsud had denied the involvement in her assassination. — PTI

I am not your enemy, Mehsud conveyed to Bhutto The militant tribal leader Baitullah Mehsud being blamed by the government for killing Benazir Bhutto had twice conveyed her the message he bore no grudge against her, the later's spokesman Fahatullah Babar revealed here. "Identify your enemy, I am not your enemy, I have nothing to do with you or against you or with the assassination attempt on you on October 18," Baitullah Mehsud, the local Waziristan tribal leader conveyed this message twice to Benazir Bhutto, Babar said. "The top PPP leadership trusted the message," Babar disclosed, adding that it was conveyed by Mehsud through two different reliable emissaries after the October 18 assassination attempt on her life in Karsaz, Karachi . Mehsud had conveyed to Benazir Bhutto that his activities were limited to Waziristan and were of a defensive nature. "I have neither the resources to fight outside Waziristan nor I have any plans to attack Benazir Bhutto in future," Mehsud had said. Babar claimed that the voice recording of the alleged conversation between Baitullah Mehsud and another religious leader presented before the media on Friday by the interior ministry was ridiculous and a deliberate attempt to divert the attention of the nation from the real culprits. He added: "We have no doubt that Baitullah Mehsud is not involved in Thursday's tragic incident. Rather, we have serious doubts against those mentioned in the letter written by Benazir to Pervez Musharraf before and after the October 18 Karsaz tragedy." "If the government had seriously gone through the contents of the letter and had fulfilled our demand to hire the services of some foreign investigative agencies to probe into the Karachi attack, Thursday's tragic incident might have been avoided," Babar added.

Kids to Bhutto’s children: You can share our mom
Islamabad, December 30 Twelve-year-old Uzair would happily share his mother with Bhutto’s children-Bilawal, 19, Bakhtawar, 17 and Asifa, 14, -- so that they are not deprived of their mother’s love. “I can’t imagine living without my mother. Benazir’s assassin and anyone else who was involved in her killing will be dealt with severely by Allah,” Uzair told the Daily Times. Nine-year-old Zain is sad that Bilawal, Bakhtawar and Asifa will never be able to see their mother again. “I can share my mother with them but she will be very different so they will have to live according to my mother’s rules,” he said. Zain is also upset at the rioting in the country following Bhutto’s assassination in Rawalpindi on Thursday. “My father had campaigned for Benazir during his youth but I don’t see him outside burning the city down and stoning innocent people. Instead, he prayed for her and made everyone else in the house pray for her forgiveness,” he said. Eight-year-old Omar and his six-year-old brother Osman want Bhutto’s children to accompany them to Arena, a children’s park in Karachi. “This way they will also cheer up a little bit,” said Osman. Mustafa was very upset when his father told him that Bilawal had fainted on hearing the news of his mother’s death. “They should come and live with me and my sister so that our mother can take good care of them,” said 7-year-old Mustafa. “She stays awake all night if either of us is sick. Because she feels sad about Benazir’s death she will take more care of Bilawal, Bakhtawar and Asifa than us.” — PTI

Youth in Pak not to celebrate New Year
Islamabad, December 30 Saddened by the shocking death of the PPP leader, the youngsters have called off parties in the federal capital. “I am crying over the great loss because her assassination could destabilise the country further. She was a great leader and source of inspiration for the women in the world,” Bushra Ahmed, a postgraduate student, told a local daily. Ezza Nadeem, a student of O levels, said she and her friends had decided not to celebrate the New Year because of the tragic incident. “Benazir was a role model for all women. She was a brave woman in this male-dominated society and had proved herself as a great politician and fighter for democracy,” she said. Hassan Raza said Bhutto’s assassination was the worst incident in the history of Pakistan and one must mourn on New Year’s eve. — PTI

Pakistan seeking international support
New York, December 30 Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is under pressure to respond to accusations from Bhutto’s aides of a government cover-up. While his government has rejected the idea of an outside investigation, Pakistan’s consultations with other countries suggested it was concerned that its own probe to be seen as credible. The US officials said it was not entirely clear whether Pakistan was seeking international assistance in an investigation, or simply wanted backing from other countries as it conducts its own probe. “The Pakistan government is discussing with other governments as to how best the investigation can be handled,” said one senior US government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because no agreement had yet come from the discussions. With the United States, the official said, the discussions about investigating Bhutto’s assassination “are about what we can offer and what the Pakistanis want. Having some help to make sure international questions are answered is definitely an option.” Pakistan has launched up to three separate domestic “inquiries” into Bhutto’s death and is waiting to see how those go before making any decision on whether to see formal international assistance, a UN Security Council diplomatic official told the AP. The US official, however, said the Pakistanis “don’t want the UN involved in this.” The council voted on Thursday to condemn her killing and urge all nations to quickly help bring those who did it to justice. “Of course the government would not be adverse to using any kind of information or technical assistance which may lead to finding the perpetrators who have committed this heinous crime,” Jalil Shafqat, a spokesman for the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN, told the AP. Pakistan interior ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said one of the investigations should be completed within seven days of a judge being appointed to oversee it. “This is not an ordinary criminal matter in which we require assistance of the international community. I think we are capable of handling it,” he said. FBI special agent Richard Kolko told the AP that any request for the FBI to help with the probes would come through the US Embassy in Pakistan to the state department. But the FBI is already involved. Two days ago, a national FBI and Department of Homeland Security bulletin to law enforcement agencies cited Islamist websites as saying al-Qaida had claimed responsibility, Kolko said. — AP

Sharif’s party to contest poll Islamabad, December 30 “Since the PPP is taking part in the elections and has appealed to us to take part, we decided to reverse our decision. The decision to participate in the polls will be formally announced after a meeting of the PML-N’s top leaders on January 1,” PML-N leader Siddique-ul-Farooq told PTI. He said his party would work jointly with Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party to achieve democracy and end dictatorship. This was agreed on when Sharif met Bhutto’s husband Asif Ali Zardari at Nau Dero in Sindh province yesterday. “It was decided that we would go along with the decision made by the PPP with regard to participating in the polls,” Farooq said. Soon after Bhutto was assassinated by a suicide attacker in Rawalpindi on Thursday, Sharif had announced that the PML-N would boycott the polls. Earlier, Zardari also urged Sharif not to boycott the polls. He also said the cooperation between the PML-N and PPP would continue even after the elections. Asked if this meant the two parties would join hands to form the next government, Farooq said: “That is a very complex matter. Let us first see the results of the polls.” — PTI

Pak Burns
Islamabad, December 30 The motive behind the attack was not immediately known and the police said all the victims were passers-by. No one has claimed responsibility for the incident. Officials said the police were alerted at all entry and exit points of Norwal to apprehend those responsible for the attack. Pakistan was rocked by violent protests after former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi on Thursday. The interior ministry yesterday said 38 people were killed and 53 injured in the violence but other sources put the death toll around 50. Meanwhile, two suspected suicide bombers were killed in Haroonabad, in Pakistan’s central Punjab province, early today when the devices they were carrying exploded prematurely in an apparent botched attack on a former minister, the police said. The police said they believed Mohammad Ejaz-ul-Haq, a former religious affairs minister in President Pervez Musharraf’s government who had earlier been staying at a house 200 metres away from the site of the blast, was the intended target. Haq is the son of late former military ruler General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, who executed Bhutto’s father, former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in 1979. Haq had been identified as a possible militant target after a suicide attack on former interior minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao last week that killed more than 50 people. The police said some religious elements at a nearby mosque had chanted slogans against Haq and Musharraf’s former government over a military assault on the Red Mosque in Islamabad in July. — Reuters

Sikhs shocked over killing of restaurateurs
Silicon Valley, December 30 The two Indian-American restaurateurs -- 30-year-old Ravinder Kalsi, owner of ‘Sahib Indian Restaurant’ and his 42-year-old brother Paramjit Kalsi-were shot dead by unidentified men in their restaurant at Bay Area on Thursday night. The killings left Richmond’s substantial Sikh community searching for reasons. “Nothing about the Kalsis made them obvious targets. They were totally pure guys, not in a fanatical way, just really hardworking,” Kalsis’ friend Gurman Bal said, adding that he feared the killings could be a hate crime but police said there was no clear evidence of it. The police was clueless about the reason behind the killing. “The assailants had touched nothing. It does not look like a robbery. It looks like these two guys went in there to kill,” Richmond Detective Sgt Mitch Peixoto said. “That’s what worries me. Why?” However, the police said, they would investigate all possibilities. “We are shocked,” Tehal Singh, said an in-law of one of the victims. The Kalsis, hailing from Patiala, took over Sahib Indian Restaurant in 2002 and often worked seven days a week. They also owned at least two residential properties in the area, Contra Costa Times reported. “They were extremely hardworking,” said Richmond City councilman Harpreet Sandhu, also a local Sikh leader. Sikh leaders said they were arranging the shipment of the bodies back to India, or to bring a family member to the United States for release. — PTI

Protests erupt as Kibaki wins Kenyan election
Nairobi, December 30 As smoke billowed from protests in Nairobi slums, Kibaki was sworn in on the lawn of State House just an hour after the result was announced, his hand on a Bible. Opposition supporters accused the government of vote rigging. The 76-year-old Kibaki urged Kenyans to put aside election “passions” and promised a corruption-free government to forge unity in the polarised east African nation of 36 million, long seen as an island of relative stability in a volatile region. “I thank all of you for the trust you have bestowed upon me,” he said. “I urge all or us to set aside the passions that were excited by the election process and work together.” Some Kibaki supporters celebrated in the streets. But they were quickly outnumbered by furious supporters of opposition rival Raila Odinga. Local TV said 10 people were killed in Kisii, in Odinga’s ethnic Luo homeland. The police shot into a crowd in Kisumu, killing another three people, residents and witnesses said. Odinga had accused the government of widespread rigging - allegations that had already fuelled two days of ethnic riots. In Kibera, Nairobi’s biggest shantytown, witnesses said protesters burned shacks as they chanted pro-Odinga slogans. The head of Kenya’s electoral commission (ECK), Samuel Kivuitu, declared Kibaki winner amid chaotic scenes at the main vote-tallying centre. Kivuitu had to be escorted to safety by the paramilitary police.

Rowling may pen 8th ‘Harry Potter’
London, December 30 Rowling (42), admits she has ‘weak moments’ when she feels she will pen another novel about the boy wizard. However, if an eighth novel were to be written, Rowling conceded it was unlikely that Harry would be the central character. “If - and it’s a big if - I ever write an eighth book, I doubt that Harry would be the central character. I feel I’ve already told his story,” Rowling said in an interview to Time magazine. One of her biggest fans, her 14-year-old daughter Jessica, had already put pressure on her to revisit the character. She finished the seventh book in the series- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows in January 2006, and thought she was ending a 17-year association with the boy wizard. “There have been times since finishing, weak moments, when I’ve said ‘Yeah, all right’ to the eighth novel,” the Daily Mail quoted Rowling as saying. — UNI

Staff assault kids in custody of UK panels
London, December 30 Children’s commissioner Al Aynsley-Green highlighted the “over-use of restraint and force” in these institutions and called for an immediate ban on the practice of painful restraint as a form of punishment or to ensure compliance. The report revealed that physical restraint, which is supposed to be a last resort, was used 3,036 times in secure training centres last year. More than 50 cases were judged serious. Physical violence in these institutions is euphemistically described as “painful distractions”. A government-commissioned inquiry into the risks of death or injury associated with physical restraints was under way. There was a need for reviewing the juvenile justice system and restraints should be used only as a final option, when the child posed an imminent threat of injury to themselves or others, the Independent quoted Sir Al as saying. The controversy comes in the wake of inquests held earlier this year into the tragic deaths of two teenagers in 2004 after several members of staff physically restrained them in separate incidents at Hassockfield and Rainsbrook STCs. They were among 30 children, who had died in custody in the UK in the past 17 years. — UNI

Passage to India Thanks to senior bus pass
London, December 30 Helen Carter, 72-year-old, from Churchstow, south Devon, set off on an arduous trek in the mountains, having left her passport behind at her hotel in Darjeeling. But the Devon-wide travel pass, bearing a March 31, 2008, expiry date, came to her rescue and allowed her to criss-cross between India and Nepal four times. The pass usually gives her free travel on trips to less exotic places such as Plymouth and Totnes. “When I showed the pass, the border guard smiled and waved me through. We had to cross the border three more times during the trek and the bus pass worked every time, although I had to fill in a form,” Carter told The Sunday Telegraph. Carter was on an organised group trip to the region, but left her husband, Roy, also in his seventies, at home in England. The group walked for long distances through the area every day from the base at a trekking lodge near Darjeeling, on the Indian side of the border. On the day of the border trip, she was not told to pack her passport and left it safe at the lodge. —
