Asia News quotes Mustafa Abu al-Yazid (aka Sheikh Saeed), al Qaeda’s spokesperson as saying, “we terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat (the) mujahadeen.” The order to kill Bhutto was given by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s second-in-command. A few hours before Bhutto was assassinated, supporters of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, another prominent opposition leader, were victims of an attack in Rawalpindi. It’s assumed that al Qaeda targeted Sharif, as well. Many Pakistanis are blaming their president, Pervez Musharraf, not al Qaeda, for the death of Bhutto, which has caused riots to erupt on the streets throughout the country.

"This is a story she wanted me to tell the world on her behalf if she were killed," Blitzer said, before reading the e-mail. In the e-mail, Bhutto wrote that, if anything were to happen to her, "I would hold Musharaf [sic] responsible. I have been made to feel insecure by his minions, and there is no way what is happening in terms of stopping me from taking private cars or using tinted windows or giving jammers or four police mobiles to cover all sides cld [sic] happen without him."
