Benazir Bhutto gave me responsibility to negotiate with Bush Admin for her return: Seigel

ISLAMABAD: Mark Seigel, advisor and a close friend of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, has said that Benazir Bhutto had given him the responsibility to negotiate with Bush Administration to convince Pervez Musharraf for holding direct responsibility for her security but it did not happen.
In an interview with a private TV channel here on Friday he said that Benazir Bhutto wanted Musharraf to conduct free and fair elections in the country. Musharraf wanted BB not to return before the general elections but she did listen, therefore he became angry and she was not given proper security, he added.
Musharraf did not want her to come back and she was in confrontation with him but she refused President Musharraf and said that she would never run away and she would lead the party in her own country and serve the people of Pakistan.
He said that they spoke so often about physical danger to her. "She fundamentally believed in serving people of Pakistan. She was woman of deep faith. After October 18 attack she e-mailed me and gave me the responsibility to investigate the incident. She wanted the culprits to be brought to justice," he said. "Nothing God willing will happen but if it does then Gen. Musharraf, former DG ISI Hamid Gul and another close companion of him would be responsible", he added.
He said she was being denied all the protection arrangements a leader or former PM deserved. He said that she used to seek his advice.
He further said that Charter of Democracy was a good document between PPP and PML-N.
In response to a question he said that he is close to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and he is also working with the present government for promoting Pakistan's image in the USA.He said that the graph of PPP-led government in the world has increased after approval of the 18th amendment.
He said that BB and Mian Nawaz Sharif wanted elimination of the ban on third time prime ministership. No country has sacrificed in war against terror as people of Pakistan had and the whole world was aware of this fact.
He said that in prison Asif Ali Zardari was offered that if BB stayed out of the country for 10 years then he would be given a ministry of his own choice and all the cases against them would be eliminated.
He said that the incumbent government should be given its due time of 5 years to deliver to the masses but he was also aware of the fact that it never happened in past.
He said that UN commission also approached him and the UN report was very strong and clear.
