Benazir Bhutto Assassinated: Scotland Yard To Help Investigation

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Wednesday that he had requested a team of investigators from Britain's Scotland Yard to assist in the investigation into the killing of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.

"We decided to request a team from Scotland Yard to come. I sent the request to (British) Prime Minister (Gordon) Brown, and he accepted the request," Musharraf said, adding that the British team would assist local investigators.

EXHUME HER BODY AND PERFORM AN AUTOPSY OR STOP MAKING ALLEGATIONS OF A COVER-UP.

THE BHUTTOS AND THE PPP CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!

Why are people so upset about Bhutto's defeat in Pakistan's primary election?

Can we get Scotland Yard to investigate 9/11? CIA seems to have been less than perfect, according to 9/11 Commissioners.

Bhutto was clearly shot. I knew the true videotape would surface sooner or later with all of those people present. Just go to rawstory dot com. There is a link at the top that states: "video: 'The most conclusive evidence' Bhutto was shot". You can see that her veil and her hair lift up at the very same time the first shot is fired and she immediately buckles. This is before the bomb. It shows this in slo-mo. How long does it take the news to report the truth? If at all? C'mon Huffpo...the woman was shot to death.

Nancy Pelosi killed Benazir Bhutto. Here is how she did it:

During the last election, Pelosi irresponsibly declared immunity to DickNBush for their high crimes and misdemeanors ("Impeachment is off the table.") Even without her other gross failures, this position ensures that this utterly incompetent political hack will go down in history as the worst Speaker of the House ever.

Pelosi will live in infamy for openly declaring to the most criminal president and vice president ever that "You can do whatever you want, we in Congress won't do our constitutional duty and stop your high crimes and misdemeanors. H'ell, we won't even bother to open an impeachment investigation, and we'll just ignore Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment for Cheney, HR #333. So go ahead, destroy the Constitution, abuse the Bill of Rights and make a mockery of the American democracy. We'll look the other way."

The uncontested arrogant, lawless and un-Constitutional behavior of DickNBush has provided motivation for criminal thugs around the world - like Musharraf and Putin --to thumb their noses at democracy and act like these American criminals.

The murder of Bhutto by Musharraf is thereby traced back to Pelosi.

We'll never know the truth about how she died. It's already lost in the political infighting. People will make up their own minds. My mind is made up that General Mushy was in on the hit.

We live in an evil, devious time and the Bush crime family has had many unsavory connections with Pakistan for decades.

Read up on the history of BCCI and you'll get an idea of the billions of dollars that have been illegally at work for decades. When BCCI was dissolved 13 billion in cash was missing. A billion here and there, pretty soon adds up to trillions.

Trillions of dollars lost is the legacy of the Bush crime family!

The white did the same exact thing when people wanted to investigate Torture. They limted the investigation to people who were not involved with intelligence and gave the contracting company interrogating and torturing written accomodations. Onlyone reason why a government does not want anyone else to be involved with the investigation. Hopefully her son will be able to get the body to determine if the bullets come from a Pakistan soldier
