Did Al-Qaeda Kill Bhutto?

…And can Adnkronos be trusted?

ABC News is reporting that Al-Qaeda claims responsibility for the assassination of Banazir Bhutto:

An obscure Italian Web site said Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, al Qaeda’s commander in Afghanistan, told its reporter in a phone call, “We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahedeen.”

The website where the story was posted was not named by ABC News. We’ll name it for you: It’s Adnkronos International. The full story, as reported by a Karachi-based journo by the name of Syed Saleem Shahzad, can be found here.

Shahzad reports that:

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No.
