Who is the man blamed by Pakistans government for Bhuttos murder?
Baitullah Mehsud, 34, is the leader of a group of jihadist militants from the Afghan border area of south Waziristan. He has launched a number of attacks on US forces across the border and has acknowledged links with the Taliban. Islamabad describes him as a senior al-Qaida terrorist. However, he denies responsibility for last week’s attack, insisting that to target a woman would offend his tribal code.
