Benazir Bhutto sought US security but was denied: WikiLeaks 23 May 2011 WikiLeaks has revealed that the US embassy in Islamabad had refused to provide security to former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto months before her assassination in December 2008 despite her personal requests to US Congressmen. WikiLeaks also revealed that several US Embassy cables between Oct and Dec 2007 reflect Bhutto's concerns and her attempts to impress upon the US authorities particularly the then ambassador at Islamabad, Anne W. Patterson, the need to provide her physical security in the run up to the elections... Another cable dated Oct 23, 2007, also reflected Washington's unwillingness to meet Bhutto's request.
