During the time when Dick Cheney and W. Bush were in power in Washington, there were many assassinations of leftist leaders in Eastern Europe. One of these was Anna Lindh, the foreign minister of Sweden who was killed while shopping in a Stockholm department store in 2003, just a few days after being chosen to be Sweden's next prime minister. Lindh was immensely popular both in Sweden and throughout Europe. She was a former vice-president of World Socialist Youth and had previously served as Sweden's environmental minister. Photos of her as a teenage school girl show her sitting in her bedroom with pictures of Karl Marx and Che Guevara on the wall. From 2001 until her murder, Lindh was a vociforous and extremely articlulate critic of George W. Bush and his policies. She's the one, for example, who called Bush a "Lone Ranger." At that time, no other world leader criticised Bush so much. Anna Lind's removal by assassination resulted in the 2006 election of a rightist government in Sweden that has made many, many radical neoconservative reforms in Sweden. I think is possible that the CIA, Dick Cheney's "anti-terrorist" assassins or one of Bush's private armies was involved in Anna Lindh's assassination and in the murder of other leftest leaders of Eastern Europe such as Slobodan Milošević. These serial killings seem to be part of Bush and Cheney's drive to bring all of Eastern Europe, except Russia, into NATO.

This is total nonsense about the CIA being linked to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. This is Cold War propaganda.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. The CIA assassinates two kinds of leaders to achieve its egregious goals: Its enemies and its "friends." Examples of the first type are many: more than sixty attempts on Fidel Castro's life; President Allende of Chile; Prime Minster of Congo Lumumba, etc. Examples of the second type: Prime Minister Rafik Hariri to blame it on the Syrians and get the Syrian army out of Lebanon in preparation for the 2006 invasion of Southern Lebanon by Israel; President Diem of South Vietnam, because he was not following the US instructions to the point; and, most probably, Benazir Ali Bhutto. She was wined and dined in the US. She was nurtured and reassured of a comeback. Her popularity was raised to the top. Once there, she was ready to be assassinated for maximum effect to throw Pakistan into turmoil and enslave the country for American "combat operations" against the Taliban. I ask readers to come up with other examples because my list does not even touch the surface.

If this is true than explain to me 2 things. 1) Why they would not kill her husband and 2) Who killed her father and brothers who were also assainated .

It's business as usual; Bush and Cheney being accused of just about every crime and vice under the sun. Why were these charges/accusations not made while or just after they left office? Why did the accusers wait so long to make the accusations?

She was not meant to publicly state on TV that Osama ben Laden had been murdered. That must have tremendously angered the USA neocon cabale. It also proved she was a risky asset. Better to get rid of her before she was elected.

She was one of the key people that was used by CIA for creating the Taliban, and was also know as the Taliban's mother. That's how it is with CIA, they use whoever they can and when they think they don't need them anymore or they are trying to cross the CIA like in this case, they have won children to kill her. What I don't know is that why people like her never learn to predict a day like this, or maybe CIA is really capable of literally brainwashing people.
