(CNN) -- Two months before her death, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto sent an e-mail to her U.S. adviser and longtime friend, saying that if she were killed, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf would bear some of the blame.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto addresses supporters Thursday in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. 4 <http://edition.cnn.com/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/base_skins/baseplate/corner_wire_BL.gif>
She cited his government's denial of her request for additional security measures after the October suicide bombing that targeted her upon returning to Pakistan from exile.
"Nothing will, God willing happen," she wrote to Mark Siegel, her U.S. spokesman, lobbyist and friend.
"Just wanted u to know if it does in addition to the names in my letter to Musharaf of Oct 16nth, I wld hold Musharaf responsible. I have been made to feel insecure by his minions and there is no way what is happening in terms of stopping me from taking private cars or using tinted windows or giving jammers or four police mobiles to cover all sides cld happen without him."
Bhutto was seeking to become prime minister for a third time when she was assassinated; her death comes exactly two weeks before Pakistan's January 8 parliamentary elections. Video <http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/tabs/video.gif> Watch Siegel describe her concern and the reaction of Pakistan's U.S. ambassador » <http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/12/27/bhutto.security/index.html#cnnSTCVideo>
Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S., Mahmud Ali Durrani, on Thursday insisted Musharraf's government provided the former prime minister with unprecedented security. He said that terrorists and extremists, who also have targeted Musharraf, were the only ones responsible for her death.
Bhutto wrote the e-mail on October 26, eight days after at least 130 people were killed and hundreds more wounded in Karachi by the suicide bombing that occurred as Bhutto's motorcade passed.

Siegel forwarded that e-mail to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, with instructions he not report on it unless Bhutto was killed.
Just before returning to Pakistan after eight years of self-imposed exile, Bhutto <http://topics.edition.cnn.com/topics/Benazir_Bhutto> told CNN she was aware of threats against her and said that some had come from people who hold "high positions" in Pakistan's government. She said she had written a letter to Musharraf <http://topics.edition.cnn.com/topics/Pervez_Musharraf> about her fears, apparently the same letter she refers to in her e-mail to Siegel.
In a speech, she listed four groups she believed posed the biggest threat to her and her cause -- the Taliban in Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan, al Qaeda and a suicide team from Karachi that she did not describe.
After the October bombing, she accused elements in the government and security services of trying to kill her and asked Musharraf for "basic security," including vehicles with tinted windows and private guards in addition to police guards. Three United States senators repeated the request in a letter to Musharraf.
Bhutto was concerned by the lack of security she had upon her arrival in Karachi and called the October 18 bombing "very suspicious," Siegel said. He accused Pakistani authorities of not investigating the assassination attempt and of refusing Bhutto's request for Scotland Yard and the FBI to aid in the investigation.
Bhutto and her husband had asked for jammers to impede the detonation of bombs; special vehicles with tinted windows; and four police vehicles to surround her at all times, Siegel said.
"She basically asked for all that was required for someone of the standing of a former prime minister," Siegel told CNN's "The Situation Room." "All of that was denied to her. ... She got some police protection, but it was sporadic and erratic."
Bhutto was concerned the problem was worsening as the January elections neared, Siegel said.
At the time of the October suicide bombing, Bhutto was riding in a truck from Karachi's airport to the tomb of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan. She had moved from the roof to inside the bulletproof, armed vehicle just moments before the blast and was unharmed.
CNN's Dan Rivers, in Karachi to cover her return to Pakistan, remarked at the time that her security appeared to be loose, saying his crew was able to walk up to the side of her vehicle without being stopped by authorities.
Durrani, Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S., insisted security surrounding Bhutto then was more than adequate.
"There were, I think, a sea of security people," he said. "She was surrounded by police vehicles. And had it not been one of the police vehicles which took the blast in Karachi, unfortunately she would have died there.
"There was a bubble around her of security. The PPP [People's Party of Pakistan, Bhutto's party] insisted that they have their own private loyalists around. They were there too. And there were about 7,800 to 8,000 security people deployed just for that," Durrani said.
"That is more security than anybody deploys anywhere in the world."
Bhutto "is not a security person," said Durrani. "She's a politician. I think the government of Pakistan provided her all the security that was necessary. You tell me -- the way she was hit, she would have been hit with tinted windows or without, or without the IED ... so it's just a blame game."
After the October attack, Bhutto said police offered to let her use a helicopter for the trip from the airport, but she told them she wanted to be near her people. She said she did not regret that decision.
"She believed in democracy, and she believed in speaking to the people," Siegel said. "It's not reckless to go out and touch the people. Don't blame the victim for the crime. The person that was supposed to be protecting Benazir Bhutto and the other candidates was the government of Pakistan with the government of Pervez Musharraf."
At the same time, Siegel acknowledged, "She was moving almost in a sea of humanity," he said. "No system in the world can protect you against that."
Blitzer noted that Bhutto was shot Thursday while standing out of her vehicle's sunroof -- seen by some as a a reckless action after the October incident.''

It is really a great article, and no one can deny that Muhatarma was one of the top leaders in the World and she belongs to Pakistan. but you also can not deny that her blood is Sindhi blood, And only Sindhi blood has courage to sacrifice his / Her life for the peoples of Pakistan.
Only sindhi peoples have God gifted talent and leadership skills , you can go through the past history Shaheed Zulfikar Ali bhutto belongs to Sindh, Shaheed murtaza Bhutto belongs to Sindh and as well Muhatarma.
Tell me any punjabi leader who sacrifice his life for the peoples of pakistan, If you just throw them jail , the second day they will make a deal with Govt and then move to foreign (Like Nawaz sharif).
And as well chaudhris, parveez illahi, shaikh Rasheed, Shujaat, Wasi zafar, and all others do u think thses punjabis are loyal with their country, they have also punjabi blood.
I condemned the Attack on muhatarma and it is 100% sure that pakistani Agencies and musharaf and PML (Q) they are involved in it. no any Al - Qaida is belong and concerned in this Attack.
And all the punjabi Generals and Army officers they are governing the top positions in pakistan Army. they all are invloved in it. and we need removal of all top Generals and as well as musharaf
Jeay Bhutto, Jeay Sindh

Pakistan after Benazir Bhuttoo
Dr Shabir Choudhry 27 December 2007
Benazir Bhuttoo is no more with us but her legacy, like that of her father's legacy, will stay with us for many years to come and will dictate politics and future of Pakistan. All 'sins', past 'deeds', 'deals' and 'weaknesses' are washed away, and she will be remembered by majority as a symbol for resistance, democracy and a champion of human rights.
I hope after her tragic death she is presented as a popular Pakistani leader killed by unknown assassin rather than a Sindhi leader killed in Punjab, as already declared by some Sindhi nationalists. Nationalists in Sind already use 'Sind card' to propagate against the federation of Pakistan that a popular Sindhi Prime Minister (Zulfqar Ali Bhuttoo) was hanged and other Sindhi Prime Minister (Benazir Bhuttoo) was twice deposed, and another potential leader (Murtaza Bhuttoo) of Sind was assassinated by the Punjabi dominated establishment.
Rumours are wild as to who are killers of Benazir Bhuttoo. According to Italian independent news agency Adnkronos International (AKI), Al- Qaeda leader Mustafa Abu Al- Yazid from Afghanistan said: "We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat the mujahadeen,"
Many will discard this claim, and there are solid reasons for this. Al- Aqaeda would like to take 'credit' for killing of such high level target, as it would boost their power, ability and potential to take out their enemies. But question is why would Al- Qaeda kill her? People who support this view will say that she was killed because she was too pro West, and went there to safeguard their interests. In my view this is not true.
May be she was pro West and went there to protect the Western interests, but key point to remember is that she was not in power, and was not even close to getting elected. All the assessments before her death were indicating that there would be a hung parliament in which any one could have been 'chosen' to become a Prime Minister. One has also to remember that under the 17th amendment to the constitution, made by Musharaf, she could not have become a Prime Minister third time, and she needed a two third majority to change that. How could she have got this number of votes in a hung parliament?
Even if she had overcome all the obstacles and was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan, she would not have been much different to Prime Minister Jamali and Shaukat Aziz. One has to remember that Musharaf Sahib has changed balance of power, and now most of the powers are vested in the post of the President, and not Prime Minister which should be the case in a Parliamentary system of government.
We all know that Musharaf or his Prime Minister had an army of Ministers and they took pride in supporting and promoting American interest or 'War on terror'. They, in order to stay in power undermined the Pakistani or Muslim interest and have virtually made Pakistan a colony of America? They were responsible for many policies, which resulted in killings of thousands of innocent people in mosques, madrassaes and in other parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. It was not too difficult for an organisation like Al- Qaeda to take some of them out, especially when they were not Ministers or Prime Ministers.
So question is why target a person who had not yet become a Prime Minister, and have not practically done much to support the Western policy in Pakistan? How she would have behaved after becoming a Prime Minister was merely guess or speculation. And question for Al- Qaeda leadership should have been (and they are clever and thinking people), why not go after those, who are former ministers now, but nevertheless were responsible for many tragedies, instead of going after some one who could possibly harm them in future?
So I would not waste my time finding killers of Benazir Bhuttoo in mountains of Tribal areas or Afghanistan, I would look for them in and around Islamabad. Her killers are embedded in the state apparatus of Pakistan, and aim of killing has nothing to do with her support for the West, as most of the government officials and pro government leaders take pride in what they have done to support the West.
Nenazir Bhuttoo also knew who her enemies were, and after the first attack on her life in Karachi, she while addressing a press conference the following day indicated that Pakistan's intelligence agencies were behind the attack. She said: " if something happens to me, I will hold them responsible rather than militant
groups like the Taliban, Al Qaeda or the Pakistani Taliban." She even demanded the removal of the Intelligence Bureau chief, Ijaz Shah, hinting at Pakistani intelligence agencies' linking with their desire to take her out.
In an interview on Venus TV soon after this tragic event I said: No doubt it is another black day in history of Pakistan. It is a sad day for democracy, justice and liberal politics. However it would be wrong to get in to blame game and accuse other countries. Killers of Benazir Bhuttoo are those who are against democracy, and against Pakistan. They have always hated and opposed her and have regarded her as a 'security risk'. This is a turning point in the history of Pakistan, and things will never be same again. Her death could pose a serious threat to already fragile federation.
In my view her assassins have given a deadly blow to the federation of Pakistan. She was, in view of many, a force that kept the federation together. Many thought she was symbol of federation and now that she is brutally killed what challenges are there to Pakistan as a nation state?
One has to see who will benefit from her killing, and surely it is not rag tag jihadi groups living in mountains of Afghanistan or in Tribal areas. Beneficiaries are surely those who were part of the previous government and take this interim period as holiday or absence from office. The ruling elite and agencies which did not like her return, realised that their favourites are not going to win if Banzir Bhuttoo and Nawaz Sharif are given free hand to contest.
But there was no danger from Nawaz Sharif. He and his brother were not allowed to contest elections. As the election - day was approaching closer it was becoming clear that Kings Party known as Q League was struggling and would not win many seats.
It must be noted that many commentators think Pakistan is at the brink of a full-scale civil war, some even say civil war has been going on since March of this year. And when we view this in the light of what has been going on in various parts of Pakistan, including Tribal areas, Balochistan, Swat and Frontier Province then they are not wrong.
Her tragic death will further weaken already fragile federation, and it will strengthen all those who are against the present government and against the policies and thinking of the ruling elite. This will lead to more trouble, antagonism, extremism and disillusionment. It will strengthen those who feel that Punjabi or military dominated establishment is treating smaller provinces unfairly and want to break away from the federation.
This disillusionment, anger and resentment could exacerbate the political situation of Pakistan, and could lead to a civil war resulting in more trouble, more deaths and more destruction. But I hope the common sense will prevail and people will restrain and learn from this tragedy and help Pakistan to become a stable, democratic and liberal country.
