South Korea bombs Pakistan! 135 killed!

Yesterday, the Ex-prime minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto was supposed to give a speech at a public meeting. But on her way to see the resting place of Mr.Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, she was attacked by the Taliban. Musharraf has placed the country in the middle of a crisis and he badly needs Benazir Bhutto to give his regime a shred of legitimacy. In such circumstances, he had worked out a deal with Benazir Bhutto along with consultations with the United states. It is under such circumstances that Bhutto was allowed to come back to Pakistan and participate in the coming elections. But the Taliban, knowing that any attack on Bhutto would undermine Musharraf planned ahead for this attack. As far as the Taliban are concerned, they would like nothing better than to either attack Musharraf or undermine his legitimacy. That is why they have bombed Benazir Bhutto's convoy. Bhutto was attacked yesterday but luckily for her, she managed to escape it in one piece. But unfortunately, the same cannot be said for her supporters out of which nearly 135 have died. Musharraf has called the security agencies to file their report on the blasts within 48 hours. But questions are being asked and not many honest answers are forth coming.
I am sure that many of you had heard of the South Koreans who were kidnapped by the Taliban some time back. Well, they were all released after a hefty payment of ransom by the South Korean government. The money was used by the Taliban to acquire even more deadly weapons and bomb materials. Since this is the same group that has attacked Benazir Bhutto in this cowardly manner, the South Koreans are indirectly responsible for this blast. The whole world had come together in the United Nations to formulate a policy of 'no negotiations' when it came to dealing with the terrorists. That policy had been adhered to until now. Now we all know what the ransom money that the South Koreans had paid the Taliban was used for, it was used to buy materials for the bombs. It is the South Koreans who will have to answer to the families of the dead Pakistanis today. Do they really have an answer for them?? That is why the title of this post is the way it is!
