Re: Terrorism Weekly The Bhutto Assassination: A Tough Case for Scotland Yard
According to the article, this won't be possible. But it also says that the shooting evidence is least likeely to be useful, because Pakistan's cottage industry for firearms produces completely untraceable weapons.
In most countries, the standards and laws on gun manufactuer make it easy to identy a gun by the characteristics it leaves on the bullet it fired. In Pakistan's unique cottage industry in gun production (which is where mos illegally held firearms in Pakistan are alleged to have come from), the lack of standards means that you can't tell from a bullet what gun fired it. The rifling pattern, for instance, is different in a home-made kalashnikov from each different cottage maker to what you find in an officially licenced Ak-47.
So case Is closed before It ever was opened. But this is something which should worry the government after all. How can such uncharacteristic weapons been produced? Whatever the case Is, I also believe that there would have been no result no matter which bullet had hit BB on her head/neck.
