Benazir was not killed by Taliban: Imran




LONDON: In a startling claim, Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan has said that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was not killed by the Taliban.

Speaking in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, the PTI chief said that Bhutto had been “clearly killed by people worried she was going to come into power”.

He did not say whether his claim was based on any concrete evidence that he was privy to. The Benazir Bhutto murder case is currently underway in an anti-terrorist court in Rawalpindi.

Khan’s claim contradicts the investigations done by a UN commission as well as Britain’s Scotland Yard police.

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi while she was campaigning ahead of 2008 elections.

Investigators are currently questioning former military ruler and president General (Retd) Pervez Musharraf was was heading the country at the time of her assassination.

Musharraf has repeatedly denied his involvement and has instead blamed the slain leader for ignoring security warnings by the then regime.

NO! ZAB was hanged for the murder of a Pakistani citizen, and was convicted by the courts.

that is true, we all know that..

Bhutto wasnot killed by Zia either...

 

[Gentle Typhoon]

Is he a Taliban insider?

 

[notsuperstitious]

Logic dictates that he can only say Taliban did not do it with certainty IF he knows specifically who in fact did it and h can tell us NOW.

But being a politician he is not a slave to logic and accountability

The master mind behind benazir murder is sitting in president house every sane person knows that, the people who killed her was just paid killers.

True to his name. The Khan

I could see some indians peeing in their pants considering the prospects of IK coming in power

I am not saying Taliban definitely did it. I am just questioning how IK had information that Taliban did not do it.

Why would Indians be worried if IK comes to power? Naivete helps your rivals any day any where.

Cuz taliban's are paid killers, why wud they kill benazir without even getting paid ? as far how IK knows taliban didn't do it well every sane pakistani knows who did it

Firstly there was no definitive claim from anyone in Pakistan regarding Benazir's killing. TTP denied it saying it is against their ideology to kill women. I will take their word based on their past adherence to stated policy. That is not proof enough.

But a leader of IK's stature should be able to provide proof when he makes claims about such incidents. Does he mean Zardari got Benazir killed? Or was it Musharraf? I believe both are hogwash because Zardari would not kill his own wife(people somehow take for granted their marital relations. It seems, for us, everyone is Aurangzeb) and take so much pain to become President, only to reduce his powers. For all we know, Musharraf could have kicked away the election process after Benazir's killing claiming a law and order emergency. This should have counted in Zardari's calculation.

Musharraf would not have done it because he is not an idiot. Any small leak of the information that he arranged the killing, then he will lose everything. Besides, he would not risk a breakdown in law and order under his watch if he wanted to be President for long. But there is a slight way of possibility for Musharraf here based on the reasoning by which exclude Zardari from the conspiracy.

 

[Developereo]

As a leader, Imran Khan really shouldn't comment on open cases under investigation by the Supreme Court.

 

[Jango]

Shouldn't have said that...

 

[saiyan0321]

well the people think that benzir was killed by zardari and most probably is the reality but maybe he shouldn't have touched on this topic or could have worded it better.
