That's bad news. Could lead to full scale revolt.

Yeh, this one will probably get real ugly real quick.  Next stop, civil war.

Musharraf is in a bit of a pickle now.  With elections only two weeks away and his main opponent dead, this has the potential to get nasty.

There is no way the US lets him go down.  We'll be bombing Pakistan to help Musharraf before we bomb Iran.

Karachi, 27 Dec. (AKI) - (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) - A spokesperson for the al-Qaeda terrorist network has claimed responsibility for the death on Thursday of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

"We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahadeen," Al-Qaeda's commander and main spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location, speaking in faltering English. Al-Yazid is the main al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No. 2, the Egyptian doctor, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

Death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and ultimately one cell comprising a defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi's Punjabi volunteer succeeded in killing Bhutto.

Bhutto had just addressed a pre-election rally on Thursday in the garrison town of Rawalpindi when the bomb went off.

She had come to Rawalpindi after finishing a rapid election campaign, ahead of the January polls, in Pakistan's volatile North West Frontier Province (NWFP) where she had talked about a war against terrorism and al-Qaeda.

Reports say at least 15 other people were killed in the attack and several others injured.

As news of Bhutto's death spread throughout the country, there are reports that people have taken to the streets to protest the death of the leader of the PPP, which has the largest support of any party in Pakistan.

In the southern port city of Karachi, Bhutto's hometown, residents reportedly threw stones at cars and burnt tyres.

wow...sucks for us. fargin al qaeda

To be honest, though, they usually take credit for anything that happens that is remotely tied to terrorism in the region.

I'm not saying they're not responsible but it really doesn't matter who did it anyway.  Well, unless Musharref or someone in his posse was... then it could be full-blown civil war there.

Has anyone submitted a claim in the CCF Settlement?  I got this official looking letter in the mail, and at first I thought it was some kind of hoax, but it seems to be legit.  Several real news agencies have reported it.  I'm just worried that someone is taking a real court case and trying to scam people.

If you don't know about this, go to www.ccfsettlement.com.

I'm not going to do anything until I know for sure it's not a scam, but I've been out of the country 5-6 times in the last 10 years so I could get a nice little check.

If any of you have actually researched this before, please save me some time and let me know.
