We Condemn the
Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
at the Hands of
Political Islam
On Thursday, December 27, 2007 an Islamic
suicide bomber blew himself up among a crowd of hundreds of people causing
the death of Benazir Bhutto, the leader of Pakistan People's Party who were
on an electoral tour. The explosion has led to the killing and wounding of
tens of citizens.
The assassination of Benazir Bhutto was
expected, even by Benazir Bhutto herself. Pakistan is boiling under the heat of
conflict between the global barbaric terrorist poles and their local
representatives. The masses of Pakistan today are passing through a crucial
phase of the bloody conflict between the forces of terrorism; the terrorism
of Political Islam from one side, and the terrorism of Pervez Musharraf’s
state, a close ally of the United States and one of the pillars of George
Bush’s "War on Terror".
The method by which Benazir Bhutto was
murdered, her previous exposure to similar assassination attempt and, her
confrontation with Political Islam during the electoral campaign, clearly
indicate that those who carried out this assassination are the forces of
Political Islam; Al Qaida and other criminal Islamic groups in Pakistan.
The Left Worker-communist Party of
Iraq LWPI, strongly condemns and
denounces this barbaric assassination of Benazir Bhutto and denounces all
crimes of political assassination. At a time we stress; the unconditional
and unrestricted political freedoms for all political forces, safety and
security for the people, and detaching the society of Pakistan from the two
poles of terrorism: Political Islamic terrorism and state terrorism, we
appeal to the deprived masses in Pakistan not to be drawn into the
polarization of those two criminal and reactionary forces which want to turn
them into fuel for their own quest for power and control of the society. We
call upon the masses of
Pakistan and the whole region to
struggle, and stand up firmly against Political Islam as well as the tyranny
and terrorism of the state.
