Scotland Yard: Bomb blast killed Bhutto

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died from a severe injury when a bomb blast slammed her head into her vehicle, investigators with Scotland Yard said in a report released Friday.

The investigators also say that while two people participated in the attack -- one to fire a gun and the other to trigger a bomb -- there was no evidence that Bhutto was shot.

The findings are consistent with initial Pakistani government assertions -- which triggered deep skepticism in the days after Bhutto's death in Rawalpindi on December 27 last year.

But a spokeswoman for Bhutto's Pakistan's People's Party said the British investigators were limited in their ability to investigate the killing fully and that the party remained convinced that Bhutto died from a gunshot wound.

The Scotland Yard report, by a team assisting Pakistani investigators examining the slaying, acknowledged "speculation that two individuals were directly involved in the attack," with one firing a gun and another detonating a bomb.

The investigators, however, concluded that only one person was directly involved in the assault that killed the leading opposition figure about two months after she returned to Pakistan after several years of self-imposed exile.

Interesting findings but an assassination is still an assassination be it by by bullet or explosion!

This sounds like they WANT a different conclusion than the one actually found...

They don't believe that a bomb assassination carries the weight of an assassination by bullet..
