Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
So everytime any expert gives an opinion that doesn’t match the outcome you want, you’re going to assume that they’ve been bribed, or they are corrupt?
Tell me, what’s the last time you’ve ever heard of a Scotland Yard investigation being misdirected by corruption?
Looking back through the archives of the Guardian you come across the following interview
A Western official with extensive security expertise in Pakistan said he believed ‘conclusively’ that Bhutto was killed by the blast from the bomb and not by an assassin’s bullet. ‘I do know the shots didn’t hit her. The Interior Ministry allowed me to be party to photos and other materials that showed it wasn’t a bullet.’
He said all the evidence supported the Pakistani government’s original - hotly contested - assertion that Bhutto died from a violent blow to the head caused by the suicide blast as she ducked into her vehicle. Film showing her headscarf lifting up after the shooting was caused by her attempt to quickly retreat into the car, he said.
Right now the whole case for her being shot appears to rest on people seeing her headscarf being lifted up - people who’ve never seen a woman in a headscarf being shot in the head suddenyl seem to know exactly what it looks like despite there being no blood flying out as the headscarf went up. Benazir was a human being, with blood and brains in her head, and yet you don’t expect any of that to come flying out after being shot in the head?
