"Baitullah is not involved in Benazir's assassination in any way"

A Pakistani senator says pro-Taleban rebel leader Baitullah Mehsud was not involved in the murder of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Saleh Shah, an Islamist senator who represents Waziristan, said

"Baitullah is not involved in Benazir's assassination in any way...The army continues to fire at civilian targets, although the militants positions are quite distinct and removed...Baitullah has said himself several times he has no quarrel with the Pakistan army"

The US and Pakistani intelligence remain convinced that Baitullah Mehsud is responsible for Bhutto's assassination, something which has led to more conflict with the Taleban in the north of Pakistan.

In a strange twist you can see the story from both sides of the gun on the BBC website, who are reporting that Baitullah Mehsud is the problem causer leading to the United States and Pakistani's increase of violence or "action" as they prefer to call it, in the region.
