Pakistan

Officers from Scotland Yard have begun to probe Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. The new leader of the Lal Masjid said Bhutto’s son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is now a “target.” Three of the 70 Taliban fighters detained in Swat have been identified as Maulana Fazlullah’s lieutenants. Yesterday’s airstrikes in South Waziristan targeted Baitullah Mehsud’s hideouts in Sara Rogha. Intelligence indicates seven suicide bombers have entered Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
