WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI and Homeland Security are reportedly
telling U.S. law enforcement agencies that al-Qaida has claimed
responsibility for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
That word comes in a bulletin which a law enforcement official
summarized for The Associated Press. The official asked to remain
anonymous because he's not authorized to speak publicly about the
bulletin.
The bulletin cites Islamist Web sites as the sources of the
al-Qaida claim. The sites also say that al-Qaida's Number 2 leader,
Ayman al-Zawahri had planned the assassination. Al-Zawahri decried Bhutto's return in a video
message this month and called for attacks on all the candidates in
Pakistan's parliamentary elections.
Bhutto had pledged to redouble Pakistan's fight against Islamic
militants. She had received threats from virtually all militant
groups who make Pakistan their home. That includes al-Qaida, as
well as Taliban-style radicals and tribal insurgents along the
Afghan border.
