Musharraf enfrenta la "operación caos" de los británicos

January 4, 2008 (LPAC) - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said at a press conference yesterday that he had personally warned Benazir Bhutto not to take risks, but she "ignored" him, the Hindu reported today.

He ruled out any security lapse, and said the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader had been provided adequate security cover. He also said that Pakistani intelligence agencies were not "capable of indoctrinating a man to blow himself up."

Lyndon LaRouche noted that this is a highly relevant statement, and that Musharraf is a target, not a perpetrator, as he is being portrayed by various western sources who are covering up the British role in the assassination, part of the global "Operation Chaos". Bhutto's problem, LaRouche emphasized, is that she believed the British were her friends. She shouldn't have gone back in the first place, and once she did, she should not have broken with Musharraf.

LaRouche also noted that Musharraf's agreement with Scotland Yard to allow British investigators to join the Pakistani investigation was "judicious," as it would force the British to share in the responsibility. Musharraf told the press conference, in response to a hostile reporter who asked if he had "blood on his hands," that the question was "below my dignity," but that he wanted to give a public answer in any case. "I am not a feudal and I am not a tribal. I have been brought up in a very educated and civilized family with values that believe in character," he said. Musharraf said he reached out to British investigators for assistance to dispel accusations that Pakistan's military or intelligence services were involved in the attack. "We don't mind going to any extent, as nobody is involved from the government or agency side."

LaRouche commented that Pakistan is essentially British territory, that Musharraf knows that, and that he knows that the British would like him dead. He is acting to keep them off guard.

Musharraf told the press that he is "not fully satisfied" with the investigation into the assassination, the Daily Times reported. He referred to reports that the scene of the murder had been hosed down quickly afterwards. "I am not fully satisfied, I will accept that I am with you about the cleaning of the area." However, he added: "I am sure that they did not do it with an intention of hiding secrets or that the intelligence agencies instructed them to hide secrets... If you are meaning that evidence was hidden by design, no," he said. "It was inefficiency."
