yeah musharraf *might* benefit some or might not, but bhutto was a secularist & pro democracy-- the fundamentalists have the most to gain from her death.
bhutto actually offered musharraf a chance to go after the extremists by forming an alliance in the power sharing government. now that avenue is more of a narrow alley.
remember that pakistan is the world headquarters of the taliban & al-qaeda, they've tried to suicide-bomb musharraf too.
in fact, musharraf doesn't have full control of the pakistani security forces, as they are heavily infiltrated with sympathizers of the religious fascists.
