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.
there were four shots, so did all four hit BB?
and i think with the help of bullet u may always find out what kind of gun is used.
though the point mentioned in the article is very convincing about Pakistan's unique cottage industry in gun production, but still its not hard to track down which specific area it belongs to because you gonna notice that all the stuff come into cottage industries do speak for their area distinctive features. (such as embroidery, daggers)
meray dahi anay!
