Bhutto murder blamed on Pakistan agents
Source: Scotsman

FACTIONS within the Pakistan intelligence service might have been behind the assassination of the country's opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, sources within MI5 told Scotland on Sunday last night.
Pakistan continues to teeter on the brink following Bhutto's death on Thursday as she left a rally for an election in which she was expected to become prime minister. The government has tried to blame militant groups linked to the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, which saw Bhutto's rise to power as a threat.

But security sources in the UK say pro-Taliban factions in Pakistan's feared Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency may have been behind the attack on the charismatic politician, who returned to her homeland from exile only two months ago to fight the election.

Bhutto, 54, blamed rogue elements in the ISI for a suicide bombing that killed 140 people at a rally shortly after her return in October. There were reports last night that just weeks ago, she had sent UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband a private e-mail naming three senior members of government who, she said, wanted her dead.

1. 'FACTIONS within the Pakistan intelligence service might have ...'
... been 'financed' and promised a better future to do this as told. They might not have had one Mr Musharaf in mind, but quite the contrary.

Pakistan with a shaky dictator who won't admit to crimes he's gradually linked to - but not the cause of. Quite a contrast to our home version of leaders not accused of crimes they are the cause of.

Who'd want that enough to pay the tab?
