 KARACHI - The widower of slain premier Benazir Bhutto on Friday said his party was certain of victory in next monthÂ’s general elections and that they would unearth the conspiracy behind his wifeÂ’s assassination.
Asif Ali Zardari, who became co-chairman of Bhutto’s Pakistan Peoples Party even though he's not a Sindh after her assassination last month, sought voter support for his party in the February 18 polls. ‘Coming elections are crucial for the federation and the survival of Pakistan. People should vote for PPP to save Pakistan,’ Zardari told a press conference in the southern port city of Karachi. ‘According to our assessment, we are winning the election across Pakistan.’
If they win, ‘we will unearth the conspiracy behind Benazir Bhutto’s killing,’ he said.
BhuttoÂ’s Party last week sent an appeal to the United Nations requesting it investigate her killing and expressing no confidence in the Pakistani probe. The party has also expressed its dissatisfaction over the involvement of Scotland Yard detectives in the ongoing probe, saying their mandate did not allow them to investigate who was behind the assassination.
| Much better to bring in, oh, Carla del Ponte, thus guaranteeing a twenty year investigation. That should keep the rubes roiled up. |
