How did Pakistan’s Bhutto die?

3 different causes of death in 36 hours?  This does not sound right.

CNN reports: “Video footage of Thursday’s attack on Bhutto contains a murky shot of a hand firing a pistol three times, but the Pakistani government said Bhutto — who was standing through her vehicle’s sunroof — was not hit. The latest explanation Friday by Pakistan’s Interior Ministry said Bhutto, 54, died from a fractured skull after hitting her head on a piece of the vehicle.”

What motivation would the Pakistan government have in asserting that Bhutto was not shot?  A former U.S. intelligence worker says that’s because her enemies want “to deny her a martyr’s death, and in Islam, that’s pretty important.”

What do you think?
