Crawford (Texas): US intelligence is still trying to determine whether or not Al-Qaeda operatives were involved in the assassination of Pakistan former premier Benazir Bhutto, a White House spokesman said today.
"There have been many claims of responsibility. Our intelligence community is still looking into it," Scott Stanzel told reporters near President George W Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Pakistan's interior ministry told AFP that an Al-Qaeda phone call was intercepted after Bhutto was killed and there was "irrefutable evidence" the group is trying to undermine the country.
Stanzel said yesterday that Bhutto s assassin was "an enemy of democracy" and employed "a tactic which Al-Qaeda is very familiar with, and that is suicide bombing and the taking of innocent lives to try to disrupt a democratic process."
