Benazir Bhutto’s Murder: ‘Elementary My Dear Watson’…!!!

Some influential/powerful person has been avidly reading Sherlock Holmes in Pakistan. And so who else would be called to investigate Benazir Bhutto’s murder but Britain’s Scotland Yard. Even 60 years after the British rulers left the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan still believes that it is the White Man’s Burden to solve the brown man’s/women’s murder on their own soil.

What are the findings? The venerable The Times of London, in the “Elementary my dear Watson” mode, states: “British officials have revealed that evidence amassed by Scotland Yard detectives points towards Al-Qaeda militants being responsible for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.” Never mind that the Al-Qaeda, and militants, have already clearly denied their hand in Benazir Bhutto’s murder.

The Times continues…”Five experts in video evidence and forensic science have been in Pakistan for 10 days since President Pervez Musharraf took up an offer from Gordon Brown for British help in the investigation of the December 27 killing. Last week they were joined by three specialists in explosives.”

But the breath-taking revelation in The Times story is: “Scotland Yard has insisted that its task is not to establish who killed her but only how she died.”

Some investigation this!!! And surprising that the world famous investigating agency was ready to compromise its professional integrity/reputation by agreeing to visit Pakistan…
