In news from Pakistan, investigators from Scotland Yard say former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was killed in December by the force of a suicide bomb, not by an assassin’s bullet. The report backs up the claim of the Pakistani government that Bhutto died after she hit her head against the sunroof in the car she was traveling in.
The British investigators did not look into who was behind Bhutto’s assassination.
The New York Times reports that it is unclear how the Scotland Yard investigators reached such conclusive findings without autopsy results or other potentially important evidence that was washed away by cleanup crews in the immediate aftermath of the blast.
