Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed by the force of a suicide blast and not by gunfire, according to a report released on Friday by detectives from Britain’s Scotland Yard.
The report concluded that a lone attacker fired shots at Benazir before detonating explosives at a political rally in Rawalpindi on December 27, but said that bullets were not the cause of death.
“The blast caused a violent collision between her head and the escape hatch area of the vehicle, causing a severe and fatal head injury,” said the report, signed by Detective Superintendent John MacBrayne.
