Scotland Yard stands by "blast killed Bhutto" bs
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died from a severe injury when a bomb blast slammed her head into into an escape hatch on her SUV, investigators with Scotland Yard said in a report released Friday.

The investigators also say that while two people participated in the attack -- one to fire a gun and the other to trigger a bomb -- there was no evidence that Bhutto was shot.

The findings are consistent with initial Pakistani government assertions -- which triggered deep skepticism in the days after Bhutto's death in Rawalpindi on December 27 last year.

But a spokeswoman for Bhutto's Pakistan's People's Party said the British investigators were limited in their ability to investigate the killing fully and that the party remained convinced that Bhutto died from a gunshot wound.

I thought the bomb blast as cause of death story was convincingly put to rest after the video distinctly showed her veil and hair lifting after the gun fired?
