Benazir Bhutto killed at rally

Not necessarily. The several groups that have tried to assassinate Musharraf over recent years would like Bhutto even less. Just because it isn't a bad thing for him doesn't mean he coordinated it. It also doesn't mean he is upset about it.

But no, I'd not bet any money on whether he was involved.

I don't see how it could possibly be a Archduke Ferdinand situation. There is no easily triggered cascade of mutual defense agreements involved. Ferdinand may have been the trigger for WWI but he really wasn't the cause.

true enough, not to mention it would of course be the first thing a great many folk would assume, and would be damaging Musharraf regardless of what could or couldnt be proven. the seed of doubt would be well planted as well as serving to focus attention on him and away from those truly involved.

however Musharraf does stand to, in some ways benefit from it and a conspiracy on his part isnt out of the question by any means

regardless. its a freakin' mess
