Bhutto dead in Rawalpindi

I have strong doubts about a confession extracted from a 15 year old boy.
I have a friend from Pakistan who, despite being well connected, was once arrested for traffic offenses. They took him down to the cells and then, just as a demonstration, grabbed an old prisoner at random and gave him five huge floggings over the buttocks with a heavy leather strap.
My friend got the message, called his family and had them come up with the substantial "fine".
How long is a fifteen year old lad going to withstand that sort of interrogation?

Meh, who actually pulled the trigger is a minor matter. Who armed and sent them? Probably some Islamic extremists, maybe even the ones who are being blamed. But who failed to provide the security that was so obviously needed? Musharraf. I'm smelling a tacit conspiracy where two opposites silently cooperate to eliminate a third mutual foe.

Paki Police ~ You're guilty and must pay a fine.
Pussy ~ I'm well connected.
Paki Police ~ Oh yeah, just watch us spank this other guy.
Pussy ~ OMG, I'll pay, I'll pay, don't spank anyone else.

A 15 year old mountain guerrilla, with three to five years experience, isn't worried about getting spanked.

The flogging - not spanking - was just a demonstration. A warm up, if you like. Use your imagination for rounds two, three and seventeen...
And I guess his training, such as it was, did not include interrogation resistance. More running about with a gun and shouting "Allah Akbar" and stuff. Just a guess.
