Benazir Bhutto named Osama bin Laden’s killer before her death
Bhutto said, "Omar Sheikh is the man who murdered Osama bin Laden." Bhutto said this in an interview with Al-Jazeera on Nov. 2. You can view it here: Video. I haven't heard this claim on the U.S. news wires and wonder why.Greg Scott

As best as I can tell it seems as though this particular Pravda (one of many break offs of the former Soviet news source, man I love wikipedia) is a tabloid, much like reading a copy of National Enquirer. It gives its own very twisted versions of news that may or may not be true, looking into other articles from the source, it seems to be very disdainful of America, often making fun of America much like our tabloids would make fun of France.
I tried to find an official source for the interview, the BBC video shows her saying the statement without any reaction whatsoever from Frost the interviewer. What journalist in his right mind hearing about this would not jump on that topic forgetting the interview all together? To be the reporter to break the "Murder of Bin Laden" would mean instant Pulitzer Prize.
I would dismiss this as either an excellent edit of an interview with a now deceased person; or the foundation of the biggest cover up of the 21st Century. But the pieces just don't line up well enough for me to believe it with such shotty information. Short of a few blog posts here and there I haven't even seen any other tabloids discussing this issue. And following the Men in Black philosophy this kind of story would be all over the "hot sheets" which it's not.
