This report should not surprise anyone. I wonder how the leftoids who view al-Qaeda as "freedom fighters" are going to reconcile this murder with their support for democratic reform in Pakistan?

BRITISH officials have revealed that evidence amassed by Scotland Yard detectives points towards Al-Qaeda militants being responsible for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Five experts in video evidence and forensic science have been in Pakistan for 10 days since President Pervez Musharraf took up an offer from Gordon Brown for British help in the investigation of the December 27 killing. Last week they were joined by three specialists in explosives.

Pervez Musharraf, the president of Pakistan, has handled this case very poorly. As a result, attempts by his government to blame al-Qaeda were met with skepticism. However, investigators from the UK and US have concluded that the evidence of the al-Qaeda link is genuine and probably conclusive of al-Qaeda involvement.

And while there are those who call for a UN investigation (including Bhutto's husband), it is important to remember that the investigation of the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri by Syrian surrogates is still ongoing after three years. Does Pakistan really have that sort of time?
