Who killed Benazir?

The finding of SO15 investigators that the former Pakistan Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, died of a head injury that occurred as the result of the impact of the bomb blast will not exonerate the Musharraf regime of the charge of security breach. As you have rightly said in the editorial, ‘But who killed Benazir?’ (Feb.11), what is important is not the cause of the death but finding out who killed Benazir. The Pervez Musharraf government is conveniently using Islamist militancy as a camouflage to escape culpability for its own misdeeds.

In the context of the revelations by Scotland Yard about the cause of Benazir’s death, the role of the media becomes important. They have the responsibility of verifying all claims and bringing out factual reports.
