Who killed Bhutto? we want the truth.

ISPR last night after 28 hours of Benazir’s death has said that Benazir’s murder is due to Abdullah Mehsud’s men. ISPR’s intelligence claims that shots were fired at Benazir and in the process of ducking Benazir’s head hit the lever of the sunroof that fractured her skull resulting in fatal injuries.

3 evidences were put across in the press conference 1) Benazir’s X-ray, 2) a video clip and 3) translation of intercepted message between Abdullah Mehsud and one of his men.

The X-ray proves that the skull was not hit by the bullets but are we sure that the X-ray was of Benazir’s? Not at all. The video clip showed nothing in regards to when the shots were fired Benazir tried to duck and hurt her head. On the contrary when the shots were heard there weren’t any visuals in the clip what has the ISPR seen in the clip to state such claim only God alone knows? The translation of the intercepted message has serious flaws and the main one is that the conversation was between Abdullah Mehsud and company is not provable unless ISPR is very very familiar with Abdullah’s voice which they should have stated in the press conference.

Other flaws in the conversation are that one person asked the other when did he arrive and the reply was “now, in the night” “MAIN ABHI RAAT KO POHUNCHA HOON” whereas the ISPR stated that they intercepted the message in the morning, question arises why would in the morning someone would say that “I have arrived now, in the night”? The other question in the message is that it no where gives a slightest hint that they are referring to Benazir’s assassination or any assassination. Why and how has the ISPR claimed that it referred to Benazir’s assassination is not clear at all?

All these three evidences put across, hardly create a link between Benazir’s assassination and ISPR’s conclusion but ISPR had the courage to come up on the media and claimed the same. The press conference and ISPR’s conclusion not only create serious flaws but also discredit their claim strongly and has made people skeptical as to why is ISPR claiming something that cannot be proved at all. One thing ISPR’s Cheema said which I completely agree is that whenever such instances are occurred the first thing that happens is that the truth is made the casualty, perhaps that is exactly what Cheema was trying to do i.e. hiding the truth.

Also, apart from ISPR’s claims another highly questionable thing is that why did Asif Zardari opt to not to have the autopsy this is highly objectionable on his part and other people’s party leaders?
