ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Didn’t Al Qaeda send a suicide bomber to her party’s rally in July? Didn’t she accuse Al Qaeda of financing her opponents in the 1990s? Didn’t she promise she will let U.S. forces into Pakistani tribal areas to hunt Al Qaeda? Wasn’t she openly a tool of U.S. policy? Why would the Pakistani military kill her right in Rawalpindi, half a mile from military headquarters and invite instant suspicions? And lastly, if intentions are honorable, why Mr. Zardari doesn’t order an autopsy where his surgeon-sister is part of the team?

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan—Amateur television anchormen in Pakistan, in their infinite wisdom, are misleading the Pakistanis. They are insisting on a post-mortem when Ms. Bhutto’s own bereaved husband saw no need for it. The medical findings by a panel of seven doctors were conclusive. It is sad that weak bizarre theories are being cynically spun about how she died by the Sherlock Holmes of the Pakistani media. BY COL. RIAZ JAFRI (Retd) Read the entire column at www.ahmedquraishi.com
Benazir Bhutto: A Victim Of American Meddling ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—We have warned about this: Blatant U.S. support for Mrs. Bhutto is an open invitation for anti-U.S. terrorists to kill her. She knew this but played along. Despite the image of a daring democratic warrior, she never would have returned to Pakistan if not for Washington’s nudge. Just this week, she openly supported American accusations against Pakistan about ‘wasting’ $ 5 billion in U.S. aid, allegations that drew unusually strong rebuke from her own country. With her death, Washington’s plans for regime-change in Pakistan lie in complete tatters. BY AHMED QURAISHI Read the entire column at www.ahmedquraishi.com
In Her Death, Like In Her Life, Bhutto
Is An Excuse For U.S. Military Intervention In Pakistan
WASHINGTON, D.C.—While Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party has engaged in populist and even pseudo-socialist rhetoric, it has always been a representative of the Pakistan’s landed aristocracy and a firm defender of its power and privileges BY BRUCE BOYLE Read the entire column at www.ahmedquraishi.com
After BB, The New Face Of Pakistani Politics ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Stalwarts of late Mrs. Benazir Bhutto’s party, the PPP, are creating a perception in their interviews to foreign television networks, and especially to U.S. media, that the Pakistani government is somehow responsible for her murder by virtue of failing to provide her adequate security. And Islamabad’s media arm, consisting of the state-run PTV Network and other outlets, has failed so far in countering such allegations. BY ZAID HAMID Read the entire column at www.ahmedquraishi.com The End Of Bhutto Politics Could Mark The Beginning Of A New Era ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—A new era has begun in Pakistani politics, one almost without the Bhutto clan. But it remains to be seen if this will result in a new, more stable, democratic beginning. For this to take place, Pakistan must move away from the politics of personality that will only deliver more of the same, a nest of vipers.

Aitzaz Ahsan Replacing Benazir
Bhutto In Washington?
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—U.S. is silently patronizing another candidate for the post of Pakistani Prime Minister or Senate or opposition leader in the next parliament. He is their backup man who can replace Benazir Bhutto in case she tumbles on the way. Aitzaz Ahsan is the next horse that Washington and the CIA are betting their future on in Pakistan.
