A special death squad assassinated Pakistan\u2019s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on the orders of former US Vice-President Dick Cheney, an Arab TV channel has reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cCheney was the chief of the Joint Special Operation Command and he cleared the way for the US by exterminating opponents through the unit and the CIA. General Stanley was the in-charge of the unit,\u201d The Nation quoted US columnist Seymour Hersh, as saying.<\/p>\n
The US death unit killed Bhutto because she had told Al-Jazeera TV<\/a> about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, Hersh said. <\/p>\n The US leadership did not want Osama to be declared dead. It would have raised questions about the US Army\u2019s presence in Afghanistan, he claimed.<\/p>\n According to Hersh, the former Lebanese PM Rafique Al Hariri and the army chief were murdered for not safeguarding US interests and for refusing to set up US military bases in Lebanon. <\/p>\n Ariel Sharon, the then prime minister of Israel, was also a key man in the plot, he said. <\/p>\n There may be some element of truth in Hersch’s claim. If only because the BBC carried the same Al Jazeera interview referred to by Hersch. However, the version carried by the BBC was subtly censored so that Bhutto\u2019s remarks about Bin Laden\u2019s \u201cassassination\u201d were omitted.
