'US special squad killed Benazir', says American journalist
Font size:
Former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on the orders of a special death squad formed by former US vice-president Dick Cheney, Lahore daily The Nation reported Monday (May 18).
The squad was headed by General Stanley McChrystal, US journalist Seymour Hersh told an Arab TV in an interview, the report said.
Hersh said former US vice-president Cheney was the chief of the Joint Special Operation Command and he cleared the way for the US by exterminating opponents through the unit and the CIA. General Stanley was the in-charge of the unit.
A number of websites around the world are suspect that Benazir was killed because in an interview with Al-Jazeera TV on November 2, 2007, she had mentioned the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, Seymour said. According to BB, Umar Saeed Sheikh murdered Osama, but her words were washed out from the David Frosts report, he said.
The US journalist opined that it might have been done on purpose because the US leadership did not like to declare Usama dead for in the case the justification of the presence of US army in Afghanistan could no more be there, hence no reason for operation against Taliban.
On the other hand, the diplomatic analysts believe that BB murder is still a fable and it is for the reason Asif Zardari and other govt authorities are stressing UN probe in the murder case, also paying huge sums for it.
Another website has disclosed that Benazir was put to death in order to roll back Pakistan nuclear programme and the take over its nukes, the daily added.
