Bhutto Was Not Shot, Died By Blast, Claims Scotland Yard
Posted on February 8, 2008 - Filed Under Bhutto, Pakistan |
According to Scotland Yard, there is no evidence that Benazir Bhutto was shot. Instead, they state, she died from a severe injury when a bomb blast slammed her head into her vehicle.
The results of this report are likely to be controversial. The Pakistani government had originally claimed that Bhutto died in this manner and that was met with skepticism and uproar. A spokeswoman for Bhutto’s Pakistan’s People’s Party told reporters that Scotland Yard had limited access to evidence and they remain certain she died from being shot.
“This report does little else other than compromise the credibility of Scotland Yard,” said Ali Dayan Hasan of Human Rights Watch.
In the eyes of her supporters and detractors, is Bhutto any less a martyr if she died by blunt force and not by a bullet?
