Pak Govt makes U-turn on cause of Bhutto's death

In a dramatic U-turn, Pakistan government has "apologised" for claiming that former premier Benazir Bhutto died of a skull fracture after hitting the sunroof of her car during a suicide attack.

Caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz Khan has asked the media and people to "forgive and ignore" comments made by his ministry's spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema which were slammed by her Pakistan People's Party as "lies" and led to an uproar at home and abroad

Comment on this

Hey Rob,Now that the Interior Minister has taken a u-turn in the middle of a very busy intersection,Hit the red lights pull him over and see who he is driving around? The Pakistan Leaders need to make a choice of what side of the Wire they really are on!How stupid do they think we are?Next they will give a reason why Bhutto's security did NOT show up at the airport when she first landed in Pakistan and they tried to hit her then.In her own words a few days before her death she said that she knew the rope was tightening around her neck when she looked out from her balcony and instead of 70 guards,She only saw a handful! Maybe they called in sick that day!The pakies funneled her exactly down the wrong road as ordered by the guy in the back seat of the car that just took a u-turn!

An autopsy would be useful. Looks like the Brits will assist in the investigation.
