Musharref himself reported in a Pakistani television-PTV interview after the failed attack that he had heard and felt the blast between 30 seconds and a minute after he crossed the bridge.
His bodyguards described a 30-second pause between crossing and blast.
Minute variations in time span are significant, according to DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s counter-terror sources.
The Pakistani president’s armor-plated limousine was fitted with high-tech jamming devices that stopped the timer for about a minute and also jammed the remote control. It was enough to let Musharraf cross the bridge safely.
Our sources report that the secret services of the United States, Russia and Israel have developed these devices to protect their leaders and for the use of special forces operating under cover or agents on special assignments.
The gadget in the Pakistani president’s car was supplied by the CIA. Like others of its kind it is not perfect. It cannot detect pulses sent by remote control mechanisms or bomb timers. But it worked perfectly in the first attack on Musharref and saved his life.
