It was 6:16 pm on 27 December, 2007, when Benazir Bhutto was rushed to hospital with gun wounds to her neck and chest, but doctors pronounced her dead on arrival at emergency department. Ms. Bhutto was killed as she was standing on the car’s sunroof after leaving an election rally in Rawalpindi.

It was the same place where , on 16 October, 1951 ,the first Prime Minister of Pakistan Khan Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated also by a gunman, the assassin was later killed by the angry crowd, no motive were ever surfaced for the assassination, the only thing which was revealed that the name of the assassin was Saad Akbar. The most shocking thing is that both Ex-PM were killed by a gunman.

Who really is this gunman? Who emerges from unknown place, targets his victim and then disappears never to be found? It is time to investigate this gunman and see who really is this mysterious man?

The killing of the Benazir Bhutto came at a time when the Pakistan election were scheduled for 8 January, 2008. All the political parties were getting ready to participate including Benazir Bhutto who just returned from her exile barely 2 months ago, the first time when she was targeted in Karachi was resulted in 150 people lost their lives; the investigation into that horrific event is currently underway. The law enforcement agencies knew one thing for sure that the perpetrator is indeed from the Pakistan Peoples Party.

Ms. Benazir Bhutto once said in an interview “if she becomes Prime Minister she will allow US forces to enter into Pakistan to hunt for Bin Laden”. Then on another occasion she said “she will give IAEA access to Abdul Qadeer Khan (known as father of Pakistan Nuclear bomb program). Many politicians reacted with fury and showed dismay over this kind of statements which surely would compromise Pakistan’s security and integrity, while many people called her “traitor”.

Her irresponsible statement does not reflect of her sincerity once she becomes the PM of Pakistan, thus Government agencies and law enforcements officials were on her trail to know and how much she is prepared to put Pakistan’s sovereignty into jeopardy.

When President John .F. Kennedy was assassinated, it was said that the assassin name was Lee Harvey Oswald, but the motive was never revealed, as in the case of Khan Liaquat Ali Khan where also, the motive of assassination was never surfaced.

This time another mysterious gunman claimed the life of Benazir Bhutto and according to the doctor’s report the bullet which hit Ms. Bhutto on the neck proved fatal , this clearly shows that Al-Qaeda was used as scapegoat while the professional sniper shot the bullet , Al-Qaeda man cannot hit with so much accuracy in heavy present of security and law enforcement official around her ,actually this bullet was shot from another car or from the roof of house where the assassin took careful aim of Benazir Bhutto’s neck and chest and shot and then to cover-up the high profile murder , a bomb was exploded to look like a Al-Qaeda terrorist carried out the assassination.

If there was really a suicide bomber wanted to kill the Ms. Bhutto then he could have done it inside the public rally not shot her first and then set out bomb device. The claim by Interior Minister that “Bhutto died after hitting her head on car’s sunroof and not by the bullet cannot be true, since according to senior photographer John Moore he heard gunshots being fired as he was taking pictures of Ms. Benazir Bhutto near her car as she was waving to supporter and more over Ms. Bhutto spokeswoman Sherry Rehman who was involved in washing Bhutto’s body for burial said “There was a bullet wound I saw that went in from back of her head and came out the other side”.

Who really killed Ms. Bhutto should not be difficult to find out in these present circumstances.

May Allah Keep Pakistan safe.
