LARKANA, Jan 21: The Sindh National Front chairman Mumtaz Ali Bhutto said on Monday that there was no concrete evidence in the ‘findings’ of the American CIA that Al Qaeda and Baintullah Mehsood were responsible for the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

Talking to visitors in his native village Mirpur Bhutto in the Larkana district, Mr Bhutto termed the accusations a part of ‘American war against Muslims’.

“Since, Benazir called herself as Bhutto even after marriage, her assassination is the murder of a member of the Bhutto family, therefore the Bhutto community would follow the entire process of probe and would not allow any other person to get any personal or political mileage from it,” he said.

“We would approach the rulers and demand to take us into confidence about the probe into assassination of Benazir Bhutto,” Mr Bhutto said.

Mumtaz Bhutto contended that Benazir Bhutto was trapped in such a situation that a number of notorious criminals had come very close to her. “Who developed such a situation and how? This is very important question,’’ he said.—PPI
