A week has passed since the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, yet questions and speculations about her death are still being raised. Who Killed Benazir Bhutto? How did she die? And could her death been prevented?
Most recently, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Bhutto took excessive risks. “There is no complicity” in Ms. Bhutto’s killing, he said. “Would I or the government be the maximum gainer from doing this? Or would there be someone else who would gain more?”
Sadly, the truth is that her violent end could have been foretold with almost near certainty. Moreover, the real significance of this latest killing is that others are sure to follow in Pakistan and other parts of the Middle East.
Political assassinations are not exclusive to Pakistan. We've witnessed several in Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq and other countries. Is this a new phenomenom? Or is it politics as usual?
