Former chief of army staff Gen (r) Mirza Aslam Beg said former prime minister Benazir Bhutto “became a victim of US agenda” after she refused to cut a power-sharing deal with President Pervez Musharraf, Dawn News reported on Sunday. “Having realised the ground realities after her arrival in Pakistan, she retreated from commitments she had made with the US on Pakistan’s nuclear assets, Dr AQ Khan and Taliban,” he told the TV channel, “and became a victim of the agenda of the US.”He said former NWFP governor Ali Muhammad Jan Orakzai had been removed because he did not agree with the policy of use of force against extremists and wanted a “political solution” to the problem. Militant resistance in Afghanistan and Iraq was not terrorism, he said, but a “struggle for freedom”.
