Bhutto killed at CIA’s behest: War



Baba Umar


Srinagar, Jan 3: The Peoples Political party (PPP) chairman, Hilal Ahmad War alleged that former Pakistan premier, Benazir Bhutto was killed at the behest of CIA.“It was a CIA led assassination,” War said while addressing a press conference here.He alleged that both Benazir Bhutto and her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto were killed at the behest of CIA as the two leaders opposed US policy of making Pakistan a satellite state for carrying out its future plans in South Asia".War further alleged that assassination of Bhutto is part of US policy to disintegrate Pakistan. “US is creating conditions to justify its takeover of Pakistani’s nuclear arsenal," he claimed.Terming the British government’s offer to help conduct investigation in Bhutto murder case as “non –sense”, he said, “The proxy offer resembles the CIA association with the inquiry regarding the murder of first prime minister of Pakistan Liaqat Ali Khan. All the culprits, CIA agents, were saved from being exposed by the American agency,” War claimed.
He asserted that Pakistani police and intelligence agencies were capable enough to conduct investigation into the Bhutto murder case. “They (Pakistani police) are able to scrutinize Bhutto’s case, but US and British are poking their nose to save the real culprits,” he said.“US game plan worked well when they exploited the religious sentiments of Islamic countries against the philosophy of Communist ideology. They are now anxiously working to take control of nuclear warheads in Muslim countries”, he added Calling himself the fan of Taliban and Al-Qaida, the separatist leader claimed that US workers have even infiltrated into the Al-Qaida and Taliban ranks and were destabilising Pakistan secretly and fomenting another military intervention in the Muslim country. On Benazir Bhutto’s father, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, War said, “He is a sort of inspiration to Kashmiris and our organization. It was only Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who dreamt of nuclear Pakistan and also gave the Kashmiris’ voice an international platform.”PPP chairman also announced to establish a trust ‘Bhutto Memorial Trust’ in memory and honour of several martyred members of Bhutto family. He said the trust’s objectives are being discussed in the meetings of Central Executive Committee of PPP.

War on neo –imperialism

BABA UMAR

Kashmir might break a world record soon for its devotion to observe unlimited number of shut downs and press conferences. The most recent strike was observed on Benazir Bhutto’s assassination and the latest Press Conference was held in the city’s Ahdoos hotel, to announce the formation of ‘Bhutto Memorial Trust’, by People’s Political Party (PPP), Chairman, Hilal Ahmad War.
Scribes from all corner of the valley were actually waiting for something new. This being the winter month means it is considered dry season for the news and activity. PPP Chairman concentrated his topic on the evil designs of US and its Allies. War took everyone present in the hall into the era of Cold war and the subsequent fall of Communism. Tagging America as the ‘Monk of Global miseries’, he declared that if the present people of the sub-continent failed to notice America’s wicked ambitions, the next generation would curse their ancestors. To a larger extent the speech was meant to warn people about American neo-imperialism, however, after the press conference concluded, it was the time to throw freebie to people who stayed there and whom David Barsamian, a well-known author of America, christens ‘Hotel Journalists’. They had Kebabs and Vegetable rolls in stylish sets. No one used their hands directly and as a replacement, forks, spoons and the tissue papers were engaged. “The tea is awesome,” one gentleman said, as his mouth bulged with overdose of tea and veg rolls. The tea was served in American made cups and saucers. The round tables in the vicinity seemed as if to be used by White men. One of the scribes from a local channel called the party as ‘Grand Feast’ because last time in a Press Conference, he had only a cup of ‘Kashmiri Kehwa’ and ‘Bagir khwani’. Poor chap!! While guzzling down the freebie stuff, scribes too discussed the perils of foreign neo-imperialism and one even vowed not to collapse under anybody’s cultural imperialism. “Do you want another Veg Roll’? The waiter asked him. “Why not,” he nodded. And the talk of American monopoly rolled on over the Veg rolls!
