7. The man who wears the sunglasses is the gunman and the man
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 05:42 PM by Satyagrahi
right behind him wearing a white scarf is the suspected suicide bomber. The photos show them approaching Bhutto's vehicle, I think.

11. Loks like the plan was to blow up the eyewitnesses

23. According to one report by the Daily Times the gunman was also the bomber
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 07:44 PM by Satyagrahi
That could explain why the suit is too large.

Suicide bomber was a clean-shaven youth

* Investigators say four to five kg explosives used, two pistols seized from the crime scene

ISLAMABAD: Initial investigations into Benazir Bhutto’s assassination has revealed that suicide bomber who blew himself up close to the former prime minister was a clean-shaven youth unlike traditional bombers who sport beards, it is learnt.

Sources close to investigators said that a plastic surgeon had helped the police reconstruct the suicide bomber’s mutilated face.

They said that the bomber, aged between 22 and 25 years, was a clean-shaven youngster having a normal haircut. The appearance is different from that of popularly known suicide bombers who wear long hair and thick beard.

snip

Sources said that the bomber used a 30-bore pistol and his three shots missed the target. They said that the police seized two pistols, one used by the bomber and other of an unidentified person, were in the police custody. Sources said that Rawalpindi Police barred Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials from examining the crime scene.
Daily Times


Yet another report in the same edition speaks of two perpetrators:

Islamabad | Portrait of the killer(s)

This series of pictures obtained exclusively by Dawn television channel from an amateur photographer show the alleged shooter who fired at former premier Benazir Bhutto before another man blew himself up near her vehicle.
Daily Times

BTW, the Taliban commander in the transcript released by the Pakistani government also mentions two attackers:

"Maulvi Sahib : There were Saeed, the second was Badarwala Bilal and Ikramullah was also there.

Mehsud: The three did it?

Maulvi Sahib: Ikramullah and Bilal did it."

25. I was wondering when I saw the pic... ISI/military?
And also previously wondering if the shooter was not the bomber, despite earlier reports. A suicide bombing, a trademark of terrorists as Pakistani gov't reps quickly noted, could provide some cover to a more conventional hit, creating mass confusion, casualties and elinination of evidence perhaps including the shooter. It's not as if terrorist organizations have never provided suicide bombers to do favors for their gov't related sponsors. (Massoud's assassination in Afghanistan, for example.)
