Why are the Pakistani authorities sure he is planner of Bhuttos killing?
Western diplomats say they have no reason to doubt a transcript of a conversation, said to be between Mehsud and another man, which the Pakistani authorities produced shortly after the attack and which appears to implicate him. It is unclear how the call was intercepted, as the government refuses to discuss the matter. In the transcript, a man identified as Mehsud is heard congratulating one Maulvi Sahib, who then names two alleged killers.
