Al-Qaida Links Cited in Bhutto Bomb

I'm sorry, but I just can't accept all attacks anywhere in the world have a link to al Qaeda.

There are two reasons for my thinking this way. The first is Russia, the US, China have enormous militaries and they can be defeated everywhere by a rag tag group? Give me a break.

The second reason is simpler. No one can duplicate the al Qaeda style? Jesus H Christ with spinach in his teeth, this is just nonsense. How much training and expertise does it take for someone to strap on some explosives and blow shit up? Duh.

A top provincial security official said Friday that the suicide attack on Benazir Bhutto bore the hallmarks of an al-Qaida-linked, pro-Taliban warlord based near the Afghan border.

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf labeled the attack part of a "conspiracy against democracy," reaching out to the former prime minister with whom he is trying to forge a pro-U.S., anti-militant alliance.

The "signature at the blast site and the modus operandi" suggested the involvement of militants linked to warlord Baitullah Mehsud and al-Qaida, said Ghulam Muhammad Mohtarem, the head security official in the province where Mehsud is based.
