It was a near perfect assassination that wiped out the last hope of democracy in Pakistan. The nexus between ISI, Musharraf, Al-Queda and Taliban worked in perfect concert to assassinate Benazir after she has the ‘iron clad’ proof how Musharraf and company was rigging the poll.

Musharraf has gained a new title in the main streets of Karachi – ‘the secret butcher of Islamabad’.

Now it is evident that Bhutto had compelling proof that clearly outlined the secret poll rigging operations in Pakistan by the ISI and Musharraf’s men. Bhutto was to unveil a report she had written about the plot to rig the country's general elections at a press conference on Thursday night after giving it to visiting US lawmakers, said Senator Latif Khosa. It was a 160-page document ''Yet another stain on the face of democracy'', which Bhutto was to unveil at a press conference in Islamabad on December 27 after meeting the two visiting US lawmakers.
