So who did it?
Taliban supporters or Musharraf?
They all wanted her dead. I tend to think it was woman-hating fundamentalists.

She was the biggest threat to his power, even more so than the fundamentalists.

...probably just stood back, gave limited help, security and intelligence for Bhutto's security people. The rest would have been a given.
Bill Richardson's campaign was out about 3:30 with a letter to subscribers decrying the mess, hoping the next Pres. will do more to bring true freedom to Afghans ect.

She was the biggest threat to his power, even more so than the fundamentalists.

Although Bhutto was brought in with the help of the US State Department as broker. She was there to play vizier to Musharraf, at least if Rice's strategy was going to come through.

"The U.S. came to understand that Bhutto was not a threat to stability, but was instead the only possible way that we could guarantee stability and keep the presidency of Musharraf intact," said Mark Siegel, who lobbied for Bhutto in Washington and witnessed much of the behind-the-scenes diplomacy.

So much for that idea.
