Who killed Benazir Bhutto?

The Afghan President Hamid Karzai met martyred Benazir Bhutto few hours before her assassination, besides talking on issues of bilateral interest the issue of likely risks to her life was also discussed. Reportedly, he confided with Benazir that she is the target of terrorist attack but surprisingly shared no fore-knowledge with the government of Pakistan. What was the logic behind it? Was he waiting for the sad event to take place according to plan? Was he trying to hinder her election campaign? Whatever was the fact!!! It is highly irresponsible being a ruler of a state that he did not even bothered to share the intelligence information with the government of Pakistan that might have averted this sad event to happen.

It is noteworthy to mention that Karzai is the ruler of a state that is suffering internal turmoil from almost last three decades. Hindering the resurgence of Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives is beyond his control. Consequently, to divert attention of international community from own failures, he accuses Pakistan for training and providing safe hideout to militants. After assassination of Benazir, the most surprising thing is his silence over the sad incident. He is well aware of the fact that miscreants of his own homeland are behind her assassination but he did not bothered to comment anything. May be he likes his role as director and an outside spectator!!!!
