AlQaeda Claims Responsibility for Assassination ??

[K Gardner]

“We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat mujahadeen,” Al-Qaeda’s commander and main spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location, speaking in faltering English. Al-Yazid is the main al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No. 2, the Egyptian doctor, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

Death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and ultimately one cell comprising a defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi’s Punjabi volunteer succeeded in killing Bhutto.

1. Wasn't al-Zawa toast before October? Or have I got my dead

al Quaeda #2s mixed up again?

2. I can't keep track of who they say they've killed and who they haven't.

4. There are so many AQ #2's, it's hard to keep them straight.
