Bhutto Buried As Pakistan Unrest Spreads
By ASHRAF KHAN – 1 hour ago

GARHI KHUDA BAKHSH, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of mourners, weeping and chanting for justice, thronged the mausoleum of Pakistan's most famous political dynasty in a raw outpouring of grief for Benazir Bhutto. The government blamed al-Qaida and the Taliban for the assassination of the opposition leader, who was buried alongside her father.

Furious supporters, many of them blaming President Pervez Musharraf's government for the shooting and bombing attack on the former prime minister, rampaged through several cities in violence that left at least 23 dead less than two weeks before crucial elections.

Some wept, others chanted "Benazir is alive," as the plain wood coffin was placed beside the grave of her father in the vast, white marble mausoleum in southern Sindh province near the Bhuttos' ancestral home.

Thursday's attack on Bhutto plunged Pakistan into turmoil and badly damaged plans to restore democracy in this nuclear-armed nation, a key U.S. ally in the war on terror.

Musharraf initially blamed her death on unnamed Islamic militants, but Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz told The Associated Press on Friday that "we have the evidence that al-Qaida and the Taliban were behind the suicide attack on Benazir Bhutto."

He said investigators had resolved the "whole mystery" behind the opposition leader's killing and would give details at press conference later Friday.

The government also reported that Bhutto died from a skull fracture suffered when her head slammed against her car during a suicide attack — not from bullet wounds.

Islam is as Islam does.

Yes. All assassinations are done by Muslims.

Not all. Every couple of years some nut case will shoot at an abortion clinic worker or try to set off a bomb, and may claim to be Christian, and, what, not even twenty years ago Baruch Goldstein went into a mosque in 'Palestine' and shot several worshippers.

If we don't count what the Muslims are doing to each other in Darfur, Iraq, Pakistan, Algeria, and Afghanistan, and simply limit ourselves to terrorist attacks aimed at non-Muslims, well, Islam only has maybe a 5000 dead body head count lead on the Christians and Jews in the last decade.


I can't think of the last time a Buddhist killed somebody in the name of their religion.


Yessiree, you're eye rolling at this simple bigoted rube is a sure sign of your superior intellect.

Crude image of a car in flames,but the big headline is written in the photo,no surprise.

CNN released the information that the Taliban Leader Baitullah Mehsud is a leading suspect.The Taliban has ties with Al-Qaeda.

At one point late this afternoon someone on CNN reported that rouge Pakistan military special forces soldiers sympathetic with the Taliban were suspected. This is a frightening thought. Pakistan reportedly has 60 nuclear warheads in their arsenal. The possibility of Pakistan entering into a period of wide spread civil unrest could have staggering implications.

Bhutto's family has had bad luck. Pretty much her whole immediate family is gone by murder and execution.

I think this will trigger a backlash against the Taliban and Al-Qaida since Bhutto is a martyr.

To paraphrase it, not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

That's a far cry from Hybridstorm's statement.

I seriously believe they are far more popular than the current president, and thus would win an election if they opposed him. I'm not alone, this is the primary reason why our OWN government is so antsy about what will follow good 'ol Prezy. Remember that the Nazis party won the most votes and seats (though not a clear majority) in a 1930s' general election in Germany. Modern Pakistan is every bit as extreme as post WW II/pre-Naiz Germany in it's current character. In addition the majority Pakistani population is poor and rural. The group that is most receptive to the extremist message. You do the math:

I can provide more evidence to further bolster my argument, if you would like?

Obviously, the Aum Shinrikyo terrorists in Japan aren't Muslims. Aum Shinrikyo is actually a Buddhist-inspired cult.

The IRA, ETA, and the Philippine Communist Party aren't Muslim groups either, but they are also considered terrorists by the U.S. government.

[Dionne]

Just in case anyone missed it in links.....

10/26/01 a warning from William Pfaff....as follows:

"The military government of Pakistan is heavily under the influence of the same fundamentalist convictions that animate the Taliban in Afghanistan."

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

Yup, that is the reason why the government (American) doesn't want to push Prezy out to soon. After all perhaps the man, most likely a general, who replaces him might be far more overt in his support of extremist groups than Prezy was. This is a very delicate situation, and one plagued with pitfalls, that the World Community now finds itself in.

As far as I know, they have corporated with Muslim terrorists, especially PCP.

I just know that now we have an area of political unrest that runs from Eastern Turkey to India.

PCP, yes. The others, no.

Remember, the LTTE (Tamil Tigers) in Sri Lanka have actually attacked Muslims as well.

I don't know about the LTTE, but I wouldn't be surprised if the IRA or the ETA have had training from groups affiliated with Muslim terrorist groups -- their aims and goals are pretty much the same -- cause terror and anarchy. Though, I don't think eco-terrorists have any ties with Muslim groups.

Now we have a cause of death problem.

First it was bullets....then shrapnel......and then she fell down and hit her head on the car.

Apparently there was a large wound to her head.

The mis-information network is at work.

This is definitely not good.

I've read about the IRA, and I don't see any evidence they were trained by such groups, same with Aum Shinrikyo. Not sure about the ETA (which is a Basque independence group in Spain).
