Did the USA/CIA put a contract out on Benazir Bhutto ?

Question

Obviously the ISI (Pakistan Secret Service) who are in League with the Taliban and Alqaeda would have done the dirty work..

afreeman...The US does not want Mushsaref to lose power..He's the man..

Bhutto would have been less cooperative..

The US is not a Democratic country nor does it support Democracy....Hello wake up.

Mike...Yes Bhutto was pro west...but a bit too much so..

She was not as willing to be a US puppet.

Fedup....You got it

Hey Snizz...you changed your avatar..Nice...

Yep! sorry but the good old USA is to blame for most bad things going on in the World these days.

Spillman...True thinking Guy you are..Respect.

Answer 1

You know, that was my first thought myself. It sounds like something that they would do...especially since it literally sounded like it came from no where, and the fact that Osama is employed by them doesn't help with my trusting them NOT to have done it!

Thanks for the question!

EDIT: Since when has the US wanted stability in the Mid-east? Their actions speak louder than any words which may be uttered.

Answer 2

I honestly do not think so. Benazir Bhutto was pro west and the fact that she was a former prime minister and was concerned for her nation and her father was a founder of Pakistan all gave her a very good reason to be there.

Ultimately, they will have to interview those witnesses who saw who it was that committed the murder and then go from there.

If anything, there should be many witnesses to this event. Some of these witnesses must have seen who the murderer was and perhaps, knew what caused him to commit this horrible crime. When I heard about the earlier attempts on Bhutto's life and how many people died in these attempts against her, that is when I began to fear for her life - not necessarily at the hands of any extremists group, but also potentially at the hands of someone who might have lost his love one(s) in those attempts. He could have deeply resented the fact that Bhutto's presense caused his love ones to be killed if this is the case. Also, the area where Bhutto was speaking that day, eight miles outside Islamabad in the northern area of Pakistan, is also where that huge earthquake occurred recently and many thousands of Pakistanis were killed. It is obviously an area of the country where there is a lot of unrest and probably dissatisfaction with anyone from the government of Pakistan or any authority for that matter. And, this area of northern Pakistan was also where her father was murdered by a military regime years ago. Old wounds take a long time to heal if they heal at all. For her to be waving to her supporters who were there was probably not a very smart thing to be doing in light of the violence that has been occurring in Pakistan recently.

If you read the news reports, Bhutto's father, also a former prime minister, was murdered, hanged by a military regime that accused him of conspiracy to commit murder. Bhutto herself was leader of her country twice, and on both occasions was forced to abdicate and eventually was forced into exile because she was accused of embezzlement - wiring large sums of money to Swiss bank accounts. Whether or not any of these charges are true or not, this history severely complicates matters. Obviously, there must have been those in Pakistan who believed the charges against the Bhuttos were true and did not want her to be reelected to office and would go to any lengths to prevent this from happening. Either that, or those behind this murder supported a murderous military regime that falsely accused the Bhuttos and wanted to keep Benazir Bhutto from reassuming power, since that would mean that if she was elected, she might find a way to retaliate against those who had potentially falsely accused her and murdered her father. Add to this the current volatile nature of Pakistan these days, being so close to an epicenter, if not the center of terrorist and extremist activities, and near the center of a recent major natural catastrophe, and you have the makings of political catastrophe, the result being an outbreak of suicide bombings and the assassination of Benazir Bhutto - a larger than life political figure and an icon in the history of Pakistan. Very sad. With these types of events happening in Pakistan, the result is only chaos, and it will be very difficult for anyone to legitimately assume power in such a country.

So, in light of all this, it appears highly unlikely that the USA/CIA had anything to do with this tragedy. Obviously, given the circumstances and the way things are in Pakistan these days, it was something that could easily have happened without any help from anybody outside Pakistan.

Answer 3

The USA is in a peculiar situation here. If they keep Musharraff in power, they risk political instability; if they remove him, they risk the security of having almost direct control over Pakistan's military. Killing bhutto isn't in the interests of either the Pakistanis, or the USA. Ironically , the only party interested in her destruction are extremists, who want nothing more than to eliminate an enemy, and create political instability so they can eliminate musharraff too.

The CIA did not put the hit out- I am hopeful that they waterboarded whoever knew who was responsible, too.

Answer 4

According to the news at 11 tonight there are some unanswered questions about this assassination. Now they think there were at least two people involved in the killing.
One who actually shot Bhutto, and the other a suicide bomber.
Some valid points were brought up, like why was she standing up in her car. And more important at least t me was how can someone who knows he's about to blow himself up have a hand steady enough to hit her in the neck and chest!

I think even though Musharraf is a puppet for Bush..he is behind it, this woman had a lot of control over the people..and she was making to many waves for him.

Answer 5

Here we go people like u come out of the wood work with al of these speculations n not a clue as to what really took place but some how u have to put the United states n the CIA,in there some were don't u please get a life n learn the facts even from news medias that have not a clue themselves as to what happen in the death of the former prime minister OK.

Answer 6

Well that's something Ron Paul brought up on a DVD. The CIA is so secretive that the Congress & very few people know exactly what they are up too.....And he also cited some of their past work long ago for the poor current relations with Iran.

Ron Paul is close to the upper members of the CIA who spoke in support on his behalf after he had that very public flap with Giuliani on the cause of 9/11 on one of the nationally televised debates.

Interpol is the world's spy agency,,,,that co-ordinates dirty deeds, worldwide, from what I've read......Of course it's always for some good cause or another, or another.

Answer 7

That is absolutely preposterous.

The United States had brought Benazir Bhutto back to help develop some stability in that country. Benazir Bhutto was strongly pro west.

The assasin was a suicide bomber. The United States, the CIA and Musharraf do not control the suicide bombers.

If Musharraf or the United States had a problem with Benazir Bhutto, an assassination by a suicide bomber is the last thing that they would have done.

The standard tactic would have been to file corruption charges against her. That would put her in prison and prevent her from becoming a martyr.

The fact that the assasination was carried out by a suicide bomber tells you that the assassination was carried out by Muslim extremists who were afraid that she would win the election.

The Muslim extremists have been opposed to Benazir Bhutto for years.

The Muslim extremists are not shy about using suicide bombers to kill people that they do not like.

Answer 8

Ask yourself why the USA/CIA would want to have Bhutto killed? What would the reason be? Hmmmm. Let's put on our thinking cap and give this some thought.

First, ask yourself what Bhutto represented. What did she represent? She represented democracy. Now, ask yourself why the USA/CIA would be against a democratic Pakistan? (Are you still with me?) Hmmmm. Lets see....Pakistan has nukes. Who would you rather want to have control of those nukes......radical Islamic terrorists......or a democratically controlled Pakistan?

Answer 9

yeah, like the CIA has never put a hit out on anybody... righhht..

who killed Che Guevara? who killed Malcom X? JFK? what happens in palestine virtually every day?

i don't trust these organizations that we fund farther than i can throw them. considering we can't touch them, that's not much.

you'd better believe it was a hit. by who, we will probably never know.

Answer 10

Bhutto was in good relationship with the US. The "conspiracy" theory won't fly!
