On MSNBC...no link yet.

On edit: Maybe MSNBC is a bit slow. Here's a story from the NY Times:

"WASHINGTON — Investigators from Scotland Yard have concluded that Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistani opposition leader, died after hitting her head as she was tossed by the force of a suicide blast, not from an assassin’s bullet, officials who have been briefed on the inquiry said Thursday.

The findings support the Pakistani government’s explanation of Ms. Bhutto’s death in December, an account that had been greeted with disbelief by Ms. Bhutto’s supporters, other Pakistanis and medical experts.

Also on Thursday, the Pakistani government announced the arrest of two more suspects in connection with the assassination plot but gave few other details.

Thousands of Ms. Bhutto’s supporters gathered in her hometown in southern Pakistan, marking the end of a 40-day mourning period.

It is unclear how the Scotland Yard investigators reached such conclusive findings absent autopsy results or other potentially important evidence that was washed away by cleanup crews in the immediate aftermath of the blast, which also killed more than 20 other people..."

1. Yeah, because we all know that a bullet through the head never hurt nobody.

What utterly farcical codwollop.

3. Why is it important that the bullet rather than the bomb killed her?

It's still an assassination. :shrug:

4. I guess they missed the video that showed her dropping down before the blast

She dropped back into the car before the blast. Scotland Yard, I'm disapointed in you.
