In the recent history over 25
high Profile murders of Political Leaders were committed and after turning a
searchlight on these it would be found that a Penetrating Study of the chain of
events ultimately led to the clue of murderers and motive behind the killings.
Investigators have had incisively Profiled each victim and Probed with Piercing
insight the often mysterious mind of the assassin. When the key personalities
were defined, minute by minute narration reseated the fatal encounters and
brought true stories of the murders to the millions of ordinary people who were
very deeply affected.
Most of these murders changed the history comprehensively and an era ended with
a new beginning in the Political Scene. Assassination is murder but murder is
not always assassination. It has to do with time, and place. Murder may occur in
an intimate sitting, under secret circumstances. Assassination almost never
does. On the contrary, it seeks-nay, demands the forum of a Public place, the
presence of an audience, receptive eye sight of Worldwide Scrutiny. Only the
assassinations of Rasputin and Nicholas II were done in the dark and secretly.
Most assassinations are Public Spectacles and for a cause or reason.
Assassination has by and large, at its heart and by necessity, the motivation of
a belief or greed of sound kind and that belief may be as simple as a fancied
slight or as complex as a Philosophy; as closely held as a catechism or as
widely embraced as a form of Govt. a system of laws, or an ordering of ideas.
Even though its one person who is the object of an assassin’s bullet or Knife or
bomb, yet that person alone is not the sole target and the victim is always
symbolic. However the effects of assassination are sometimes emotionally as
devastating to each member of the society as passing of a close relative.
Consider the recollections of the great Poet, Walt Whitman, after the
assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Stunned, he recalled, he and his
mother Sat drinking endless Cups of Coffee, waiting for each edition of the news
paper, hoping against reality that the next paper would bring news of a recovery
or, consider an after noon 98 years later, in an electronic age, when millions,
self-stricken and silent, sat before T.V. Sets for hours, while the Greek
tragedy of the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy played out its tale
of heroic vulnerability, intrigue, multiple murders, and ultimate, ritual
catharsis. A generation of Americans would always remember exactly where they
were at the precise moment the awful news of the Presidents death reached then.
Benazir’s assassination came as a brutal shock for every one. Leadless whose
deaths were designed to deprive their followers of the figurehead they needed to
accomplish their goals.
Marat, Rasputin, Nicholas II, Smoza, Sadat, Mckinley, Leon Trotsky and Lord
Mountbatten were murdered by representatives of opposing Political views. Only
Carl Weiss, who killed Huey Long, and Charless Guiteu, who assassinated
President Garfield, seems to have been acting from Purely Personal motives.
Almost 99% of high profile assassinations in the history have been tracked and
killers convicted. Why the killers of Benazir have not be Pin Pointed and
conspiracy unfolded? Why should her assassination be termed as blind murder? Who
were the beneficiaries of her assassination. Will her murder always be shrouded
in mystery even though her husband is all powerful head of the state. Will
mysterious way of her assassination and the events that followed later from
........... to the killing of Khalid Shehansha, unfold itself after the exit of
President Asif AH Zardari from Power or will this remain a mystery for all times
to come. Why and how the articles containing evidentiary value removed from the
scene of crime! All of this becomes logical when you consider the very origin of
the name assassin. It begins with the acting of an 11th Century Shiite convert
named Hasan Ibn-al-Sabbah. Who conducted a struggle against Sunni orthodoxy and
Turkish rule in Islamic Persia. His men were so suicidally irrationally
dedicated to their tasks, that it was widely believed that they were stimulated
by hashish and so were called / hashish eaters” which was shortened in Arabic to
“assassins”, as in Benazir case, for an act of assassination has overwhelming
been either Political or religious. The classic behavior of the characters in
her assassination gives credence to the theory that the supposedly one-man-one-
gun assassination of Benazir was really conspiracy for which others took the
blame and be it totally fake, no one has been even blamed as yet. It is also a
fact of history that such high profile assassination as her’s has to and will be
unfolded at some stage but then the conspirators and actors would have gone.
Even if the forensic evidence has been minimized, the paper trail, the chain of
events can surely unearth the reality if proper, scientific. Investigative
techniques are employed by the experts in criminology and detection. History
tells us that such high profile assassination can not remain hidden for all
times and one day, I am sure, the mystery would be solved and conspirators
brought to book or at least known to her innumerable followers.
