3. link
"When she was thrown by the force of the shockwave of the explosion, unfortunately one of the levers of the sunroof hit her," said spokesman Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema.

The explanation is the latest from the Interior Ministry. It initially said Bhutto was killed by shots fired by the bomber, and then, via the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan, it said the cause of death was a shrapnel injury.

But Farzana Raja of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party told CNN the government's explanation is "a pack of lies," and she offered another explanation. "It was a sniper shooting," she told CNN. Raja also accused the government of a "total security lapse."

6. Isn't it peculiar
that there is tons of video from dozens of sources
before and after the assassination but none of the
event itself... that we know about, that is.
Not that I'd want to see such a gruesome thing
but I would think that there has to be at least one
video snippet that would end some of this speculation.

8. It's out there, just wait.
In the video of the gunman firing, you can see many videos being recorded. Someone has it.

7. Yup, pretty soon a government official will tell us that she really died from an infected hangnail.

11. It reminds me of when Salvador Allende of Chile
was assassinated in a coup. When the military under the leadership of Augusto Pinnochet stormed the Presidential Palace, it was reported that he had committed "suicide" with a machine gun because he wouldn't surrender. He managed to shoot himself with 44 bullets before he died (in the back no less :sarcasm:).

It seems this is another way to blame the victim. She killed herself by hitting her head. It was all her fault. Nothing to see here. Move on.
