If so, then maybe this is not like the assassination of the Afghani rebel leader, being followed by the 911 attacks. Don’t remember Osama going public after that happened.
IIRC, the USA hits occurred the day after the Afghanistan assassination.
Most of us knew little to nothing about Masood when they killed him. Bhuto is very much in the news and very well known.
Personally I expect them to claim responsibility whether they did it or not. They’re in real bad need of a morale boost.
