PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Dec 29 (Reuters) Al Qaeda-linked militant Baitullah Mehsud was not involved in the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, his spokesman said Saturday. “I strongly deny it. Tribal people have their own customs. We don't strike women,” Mehsud's spokesman Maulvi Omar said by telephone from an undisclosed location. The government said Friday Mehsud was responsible for Benazir's killing as she left an election rally in Rawalpindi Thursday.
