December 27, 2007 (LPAC)--Lyndon LaRouche today offered the following initial assessment of the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Mrs. Bhutto was killed by a suicide assassin at the conclusion of a campaign rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

LaRouche characterized the assassination as a "chaos operation." LaRouche explained that he sees the British hand all over it, referring to recent revelations of MI6 operators negotiating with Taliban leaders in Afghanistan. The British, LaRouche elaborated, are operating with many groups--in all factions, on all sides of the conflict. They work towards both parallel and contradictory objectives.

LaRouche argued that the motives behind the Bhutto assassination are global, not regional. There are factions of the British oligarchy who are out to make the entire global situation into an unwholesome mess. This has more to do with the global financial crash than anything internal to the politics of Southwest or South Asia, he continued. There are factions in the City of London and allied financial oligarchy, who understand that the present financial system is doomed--is already collapsing at an accelerating rate. They see this as end game, and are committed to determining who survives, and who goes down. They are using terrorism as a weapon of chaos, to secure their survival out of the collapse.

LaRouche explained that he is not referring to the House of Windsor. The issue is the London-centered Anglo-Dutch financial oligarchy, which is out to consolidate their imperial control over the world, under conditions of a total breakdown crisis. The issue is: Who will come out of the crash intact?

To pursue the precise British assets behind the Bhutto assassination, the appropriate question is: Which British assets in the South Asia region totally hate the prospect of any rational outcome to the situation? That is the starting point.
