Three prominent personalities of Pakistan were murdered. They were PM Laquat Ali Khan , Pres. Gen.Zia ul Haq and Mrs.Benazir Bhutto Zardari . While one can understand the murder of a serving PM or President for one reason or another , the murder of politician who has yet to make it again is non -understandable.
Regarding Liaquat Ali Khan's murder there are several theories but some may be mentioned to start the thread.
The simplest theory is that Said Akbar was angry that his wife participated in the women's rally organized Mrs.Liaquat Ali khan without burqa and told people he will kill PM and practised often with his weapon using a water tank as a target for weeks in full view of people who never took his statement that he will kill PM serious enough to report .
Other one is that Said Akbar was a hired killer and had Afghanistan connections and some USA cables revealed after time period mention this , third theory is that Liaquat Ali's ceasefire on Kashmir evoked angry response from NWFP and final theory involves serious tensions in British - Liaquat relationship . According to different variants of this theory his murder was orchestrated by a person who was recruited in police by special sifarish of then prepartition Baluchistan ruler and the senior post of police in Rawalpindi ? range was kept vacant to forestall any serious inquiry later on .
A secretary of Raja Ghazanfar Ali Khan in his book titled "From Martial law to Martial law" tries to give impression that Liaquat was in the next few days going to a summit meeting in Tehran where new Iranian leadership and Egypts leadership was to gather and show support against British on Suez and Iranian oil nationalization issue . The support of this theory comes from three further conjectures , first is that Liaquat Ali has made a choice between UK and USA (not USA and USSR) as some wrote later and visited USA. Second that Liaquat's relationship with local British ambassador was not good and he asked Muhammed Ali to deal with matters raised by him on a daily basis as Pakistan was dominion not republic and third that the coming into being of Pakistan involved some secret parleys and agreements with British to which Liaquat was not a party or was not agreeable , the later theory if accepted will raise the next question that was "objective resolution" a firm No to understanding with the British not only on strategic issue but of long term vision of Pakistan.
Liaquat Ali like jinnah actually lost a lot of property to independence and his lands before partition were spread over two provinces of India . By the time he was killed only 1/8 of his some 80000 Rupees he had brought from India were left .
Next is Gen.Zia 's murder , this was the first massive security lapse involving Pakistan army. Several theories exist , first it was said that Mango crates had explosive material in it , the lab reports if true and not planted to divert confirmed traces of an explosive . People who routinely travel on C130 do not believe this version , they point out that C130 is robust and can land even with one running engine and loss of control of plane seen by some bystanders point to either control system malfunction or else to the third theory of Neurological gas which can explain control system malfunction . The gas theory shifts planner to outside Pakistan to big powers.
Benazir 's murder is recent and despite the events having occurred in the midst of town there are several versions again. The official versions have been two , first the version that she died of gun shot wound and other is her head got hit to the rim as a result of blast . The problem with gunshot was that gunman was standing on left side and wound was on the right and there was no bullet on xray and entry exit wounds were not clear . The problem with head striking to the rim as a result of blast was that there were no hair or blood on the rim .
The hole in her brain was on the right and liquified brain/ fluids etc were pouring out from right side when body was seen by her friends. So was this again the work of a Jinn or some advanced weapon which can smash brain on the right yet leave no entry or exist wound and no metallic remains except very small remain . i.e some kind of high speed particle gun developed again by a foreign power and then the issue of how millions of volts were generated to initiate this device and how can such fit in building or vehicle and so on .
Musharaf's case might yield more information in courts but one should not be surprised that UN report details clash with local report details , this is Pakistan. Perhaps UN report's initial version mentioned something like Benazir falling in car 1.4 seconds in advance of explosion /gunshot complex which supports advanced research weapon . Then there are nominated Vaziris and then bodies of people including pathan Burqa women and then there is issue of Benazir's missing dopata and other items. Post mortem was not much of an issue as she had a Skull Xray and doctor opened here chest so minipostmortem was indeed done . CT was not done as angry PPP throngs scared doctors and placed themselves between Operation theatre and CT room . There were rumors of doctors being subject to vigorous pressures of all sort later on .Basically there is no clue to her murder and this too is history for all practical purposes .
Now the number of political murders has quadrupled and ordinary murders astronomical , but one can say that we were never good murder investigators. I have heard several seasoned lawyers that in Pakistan the person who face gallows are often the innocents !.
My views on judiciary are well displayed on other threads and have a solid basis .
