Benazir Bhutto

A 15-year-old boy arrested by Pakistani puppet authorities has reportedly confessed to joining a team of assassins sent to kill Benazir Bhutto. The teenager was reportedly arrested in the town of Dera Ismail Khan in North West Frontier province. In addition to the Bhutto assassination, the boy also "confessed" of plotting to attack Shiites during their ‘Ashura festival on Sunday.

The assassination of Benazir Bhutto has created conditions which contribute to the ongoing destabilization and fragmentation of Pakistan as a Nation. The process of US sponsored "regime change", which normally consists in the re-formation of a fresh proxy government under new leaders has been broken. Discredited in the eyes of Pakistani public opinion, General Pervez Musharaf cannot remain in the seat of political power. But at the same time, the fake elections supported by the "international community" scheduled for January 2008, even if they were to be carried out, would not be accepted as legitimate, thereby creating a political impasse.

Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto warned Sunday that "foreign forces" could enter Pakistan unless the government re-establishes control in tribal border areas that have become militant hotbeds since the U.S.-led invasion of neighboring Afghanistan.

The opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was placed under house arrest this morning, her political party said. Streets were filled with police officers carrying batons and shields, and trucks blocked roads, trying to prevent access to a protest rally that Bhutto had helped organize in Rawalpindi, the garrison city adjacent to the capital of Islamabad.

A top Pentagon official on Wednesday said the fate of Pakistan's military arsenal was a "primary concern" after President Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency in his country.
