Benazir Bhutto served two non-consecutive terms as Prime Minister of Pakistan. She was assassinated by gunshot to the head after her eventual return to Pakistan from exile. Her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, subsequently became President of Pakistan.[1]
The Dubai exile meeting
During Bhutto’s period of exile from Pakistan, John Kiriakou and a more senior CIA colleague met with her at her residence in Dubai — a $10 million beachfront mansion. She had earned approximately $60,000 per year during her time as Prime Minister of Pakistan.[2][3]
During the meeting Bhutto and her CIA visitors heard a car pulling up outside the mansion. Bhutto remarked aloud:
So help me God — if he’s pulling up in another Bentley, I’m going to lose my mind.[3]
Kiriakou and his colleague glanced at each other, registering the implication: “Corrupt a little bit?”[1]
