WASHINGTON: After surviving an assassination attempt in October, former premier Benazir Bhutto had said president Pervez Musharraf would be responsible if any harm came to her as she was not being provided adequate security.
In an email sent two months ago to her US adviser and long-time friend, Bhutto cited Musharraf government’s denial of her request for additional security measures after the October suicide bombing that targeted her upon returning to Pakistan from exile.
“Nothing will, god willing happen,” she wrote to Mark Siegel, her US spokesman, lobbyist and friend.
“Just wanted u (you) to know if it does in addition to the names in my letter to Musharaf of Oct 16nth, I wld (would) hold Musharaf responsible.” “I have been made to feel insecure by his minions and there is no way what is happening in terms of stopping me from taking private cars or using tinted windows or giving jammers or four police mobiles to cover all sides cld (could) happen without him.”
Bhutto wrote the email on October 26, eight days after at least 130 people were killed and hundreds wounded in Karachi by the suicide bombing on her homecoming motorcade.
