ISLAMABAD: The assassination of Benazir Bhutto has been subjected to endless investigations by foreign and local agencies without finding any clue to the elimination of the third civilian prime minister of the country. And now, according to a report in the press today, a challan has been submitted in a court in Rawalpindi alleging that the Taliban were behind it, leaving out names of certain individuals whom she had pointed fingers at when she was alive.
So who really killed Benazir Bhutto? To find the answer to this simple question, one does not have to be a rocket scientist and one can refer to Ms Bhutto’s own pronouncements in this regard, made by her when she had returned to Pakistan and survived a massive suicide blast on the rally that was organised to receive her from the airport.
