Musharraf murdered my mother: Bilawal

Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said former military dictator Pervez Musharraf murdered his mother and twice prime minister Benazir Bhutto by purposely sabotaging her security upon her return to homeland in 2007.
Appearing in a series of interviews on American channels, Bhutto Zardari said he plans to take on a bigger political role for himself in the next general elections and would serve his country in any way he could. On Pakistan-US relations he said the Obama administration should realize that it is never too late to apologize and it should do so over the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers in warplane attacks on Salala border posts on November 26, 2011 as the incident has strained relations between the two countries.
When the CNN anchor asked Bilawal Bhutto in the Situation Room if he blamed retired general and former president Musharraf for Benazir Bhutto’s death, he replied: “He murdered my mother.” “I hold him responsible for the murder of my mother,” he told Wolf Blitzer.
Bilawal Bhutto explained that Musharraf “was aware of the threats. He had threatened her himself in the past. He said your security is directly linked to our relationship and our cooperation.” “Al Qaeda issued the instructions to do it… the Taliban carried out the actual attack while Pervez Musharraf purposely sabotaged my mother’s security when he knew there was going to be attacks and she would be eliminated,” he added. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said he did not campaign in the last election but envisions a more active political role ahead. “I went to university. I don’t feel like at the moment I have the mandate to take a particularly active role. I look forward to campaigning in the next election and playing a larger role then.”
So you hope to go into politics? he anchorperson asked.
Yes, replied Bilawal Bhutto.
And would you some day like to be the leader of Pakistan?
“I would like to help my people in any way I can, Wolf. It’s difficult times in Pakistan and we all have to help,” the 23-year-old PPP chairman said.
Meanwhile, Bilawal strongly defended Islamabad’s position on war on terror issues as he told the Obama administration in an interview that “it is never too late (for it) to apologize” over the loss of 24 Pakistani soldiers in a cross-border strike on Salala border posts. “I think an immediate (US) apology was the humane, appropriate thing to do. I’d like the American public to consider what their reaction would have been if 24 American soldiers had been killed in such a way on the border with Mexico,” Bhutto Zardari told CNBC in an interview.
