WSJ: U.S. Officials Say Bullets Killed BhuttoApparently the Pakistani government is having trouble selling their sun roof assassination theory to American officials. From The Wall Street Journal:
U.S. intelligence officials and diplomats increasingly believe former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died from a gunshot wound, placing Washington at odds with Islamabad over the cause of her death.The government of President Pervez Musharraf has held Ms. Bhutto died on Dec. 27 from a fractured skull, sustained when the shock wave from a suicide bombing threw the opposition politician against the lever of her vehicle’s sunroof.
But U.S. officials said information independently gathered from Pakistan, including eyewitness accounts and video footage, left few doubts that Ms. Bhutto was shot by one or more assailants. “There is a consensus emerging that she must have been shot,” said a U.S. administration official working in Pakistan.
Call it a lack of imagination.
