Her death is a very sad incident and the perpetrators of this crime should be brought to justice. But a look at her history will surprise everyone. Even though she was Harvard and Oxford educated, she was the most corrupt leader in the history of world, maybe. It is documented that she and her husband stole approx USD 3.2 billion from Pakistan during her tenure as PM. In fact her husband was nicknamed “Mr. 10%” because he wouldn’t allow any business deal or industrial activity to take place without a 10% share in it specifically for him. During around mid 90s she actually bought a property in UK which is called Surrey Palace and it was the most expensive property in the world at the time. And she bought it at an auction for around USD 750 mln and she outbid the Prince of Brunei, who was the richest person in the world in those days. She was also the one who helped the Taliban come to power in Afghanistan. She may have come to power through democracy but she herself was a total dictator. In 2004 a Swiss court found her guilty of corruption and money laundering in Pakistan and she was given six month jail sentence with a refund of all the stolen money to the government of Pakistan. But she made a deal with the US that she would allow US forces to operate in Waziristan directly if she was made the PM of Pakistan and the Swiss sentence was scraped. The US then pressured the Musharraf government to change their constitution and allow her a third term when no leader can serve more than two terms by law; in addition to scrapping all investigations and court proceedings against her. During her tenure she was also involved in the murder of her brother who was also a politician and her rival. Her father the famous Bhutto of the 70s was a socialist and was extremely anti US, in fact he engineered the famous oil-embargo. It was because of his destructive policies for Pakistan that he was ousted in a military coup. And the reason he was executed was due to US pressure. Her family and she herself are feudal lords of the Sindh province. They live like kings and queens over there and keep people on their lands as slaves. They make them work for generations for no money at all on their agricultural lands and even force them to vote for them during elections. The Musharraf government has been desperately trying to introduce land reforms and free these people from such slavery. As for her death only the extremists and terrorists like Al-Qaeda and the enemies of US and Pakistan are the ones who are going to gain from this, because Al-Qaeda have almost been defeated in Iraq, they are struggling in Afghanistan and Waziristan, just been crushed in Swat region of Pakistan. Now because of this incident they created political instability in Pakistan and the US and Pakistan are both have been distracted in dealing with political instability rather than attacking them. You never know it could be the Russians or Iranians to keep the US and Pakistan distracted and engaged in a bloody and extremely expensive war.
But still may God have mercy on her soul and give her children the strength to deal with the loss of their mother.
