Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto names the 16-year-old son of Usama Bin Laden as the leader of one of four gangs of “designated assassins” sent to kill her in a posthumous autobiography excerpted in The Times of London on Sunday.

Bhutto, who was assassinated as she left a rally in Rawalpindi in December, revealed she was warned by both President Pervez Musharraf and a “friendly Muslim government” that Hamza Bin Laden was planning her murder.

The naming of Bin Laden’s teenage son appears to bolster intelligence claims that Hamza is being groomed as a future leader of Al Qaeda.

In her new autobiography, Bhutto writes:
“I was told by both the Musharraf regime and the foreign Muslim government that four suicide bomber squads would attempt to kill me. These included, the reports said, the squads sent by the Taliban warlord Baitullah Mehsud; Hamza Bin Laden, a son of Osama Bin Laden; Red Mosque militants; and a Karachi-based militant group.”

Last September Hamza was described in reports as a senior Al Qaeda leader who had been waging jihad in the lawless tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

It's so touching, I'd cry...if I weren't already.

If it's true that she knew about the plot, one must wonder if she deliberately put herself at risk by sticking her neck out...literally. Might she have felt that she could do more good dead than alive?

after its told over and over you'll start to believe
it.

One must wonder, if Bhutto was really killed by Al Qaeda, whether we have a common enemy in the form of President Pervez Musharraf as well.

Musharaff has said he warned her---which made him question why in the world she chose to stick her head out of that car???? Makes me wonder too.

Of course they have, I'm just saying that if Al-Qaeda didn't want her there, maybe she was on our side...

If you watch FOX, that might be true.

What about the rest of us who might be able to make up our own minds yet come to the same exact conclusion without hearing FOX?

What makes you think she wasn't? Where have you been for the past 30 years?

I'll connect the dots again...

1. Bhutto was on our side.
2. She was killed by Al Qaeda.
3. She wanted Musharraf to step down at once.
4. She wanted Democratic elections to take place in Pakistan ASAP.

We can also add that thousands of members of Al Qaeda fled from Afghanistan to Pakistan after the invasion in 2001, and some believe that Osama is currently in Pakistan.

Maybe points 3 & 4 are issues we should have a deeper look at when it comes to our relationship with the Nuclear Armed nation of Pakistan.

Just my opinion.
