Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
Here are my 2 cents:
What difference does it make? Whether she died from a gunshot to her head, or the same guy blowing himself up in a blast: fact of the matter is that she died as a result of an attack against her. Some people wanted her dead and killed her. Whether they killed her by the blast or by the gun, the difference doesn't matter.
Why is it being made such a big issue?
Also, here is my personal opinion. Trained assassins and sharp-shooters are a valued commodity. They are an asset to whichever organization they belong to. They go through incredible training, and are experts in getting out alive. Suicide bombers who wear a vest full of explosives around them; and blow themselves up, for their cause are not the same. They are a disposable asset.
Why am I differentiating between the two? Because al-Qaida, or whoever, will not "waste" a trained sharp-shooter by asking him to blow himself up, simply as a back-up. Its a complete waste.
What that leads us to think is that the person who was shooting towards Benazir in the video footage was not an expert sharp-shooter anyway. He was a guy with a gun and was firing towards his target. His chances of hitting or missing are roughly equal (moving car, moving gun, lots of crowd, gun held above his head, no line of sight etc). Just because someone was shooting, doesn't automatically mean, he hit too. I doubt he was an expert marksman, anyway. May be he did hit her, may be he didn't. None of us can be 100% sure. Again, she died a few moments later. So. Doesn't matter.
And that reminds us, weren't we all expecting this high and mighty Scotland Yard team to investigate WHO killed her, and make some efforts to bring those to justice/arrest? This report that they have released could as easily be produced two days after the assassination by a group of qualified doctors. What a waste of time and money. Who killed her? Are we supposed to wait for the mystery of a couple of teenagers with just one name (Rifaqat and blah blah)? Its been more than six weeks since she died. Where are the co-conspirators in her death?
Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
GV: So what is ur take on this? And the doc who later changed his mind how do u know he has not been peruaded by the gov't....anything works with here u take this money and keep ur mouth shut.....And another thing how did Scotland Yards do an analysis of BB? Did they have access to the SUV she was in? I don't know the complete story so I don't have any take on whether she was murdered or it happened because of hitting her head on the roof...just had questions in my mind.
The report says that their conclusion is based mainly on the X-Rays of her head as well as interviewing the doctors and family members who saw her body. The X-rays of her head do not show gunshot injury. The description of her body given byt he doctors and family members, coupled with the type of injury shown in the X-ray suggest that she hit her head on something so hard that it could only have been caushed by an immense amount of pressure such as only and explosion could cause.
Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
Very well. I am visiting my aunt who is a doctor tonight, and will discuss this with her and get a medically qualified opinion.
I am suprised that you found a neurosurgeon who would actually suggest that a brutal impact that would smash open a head so badly that it could be mistaken for a bullet exit wound would not be swiftly fatal.
Do that.
Again, I dont agree with the injury been "mistaken" as a bullet exit wound. Nor do the docs believe the wound to be pointing at some fatal head injury sp that It can ever be mistaken as an bullet exit wound. The docs further said either the docs at the sight were under qualified for that job or simply hiding some facts.

I believe you have no idea how agencies operate then.
YOu mean a person who can be the shooter has to be the suicide bomber as well? Yes, the person in the video footage is shooting with a pistol without the knowledge of being bomb blast the next second?! I agree.
Thats how agencies plan such events.
Please differ between agency work and the work of some wanna be al qaidas. Especially when It is the concern to assassinate a high ranked celebrity.

US backs Scotland Yard statement...It seems Musharrafs sight seeing tour to France and Co. Did some trick. Thank you US of A! We appreciate your "butt in" at every time. God has spoken and we must accept It the way It is.

Well US had sent viceroy benazir anyways. Dinn see too many people complain about interference then.
Still does not stop our politicians to go and try and convince UK and USA lawmakers about what they want.
Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
The "issue" of Pakistan has been fiercly debated in democratic caucuses, until now. Now no one mentions Pakistan. Why?
Because Musharraf gov took strong notice of that, and issued statements like "if you dont like us, find someone else" and "no money, no services" etc. so much for the US "puppet".

USA will continue to support Pakistan, despite the dismay from anti-USA element in Pakistan. :)
Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto
We are still talking about Benazir's death and Scotland Yard report, right?
I am sure there are plenty of threads here that talk about US and Pakistan and Musharraf and Obama. Why do we still have to go on tangents in every single discussion.
