Title: Police abandoned security posts before Bhutto assassination

No autopsy performed on body; docs say bullet wounds not found.

Police abandoned their security posts shortly before Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto's assassination Thursday, according to a journalist present at the time, and unanswerable questions remain about the cause of her death, because an autopsy was never performed.

Pakistan's Interior Minister on Friday said that Bhutto was not killed by gunshots, as had been widely reported, and doctors at Rawalpindi General Hospital, where she died, say there were no bullet marks on the former prime minister's body, according to India's IBNLive.com. Furthermore, according to the news agency, there was no formal autopsy performed on Bhutto's body before she was buried Friday.

CNN is now reporting that it wasn't gunshots or shrapnel that killed Bhutto, but that she died from hitting the sunroof of the car she was riding in. The network said sources in Pakistan's Interior Ministry said nothing entered her skull, no bullets or shrapnel.

Apparently there was some kind of lever on the sunroof she was standing through, and she hit her head on that CNN reported Friday morning.

Earlier in the day Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz told a Pakistani news channel, “The report says she had head injuries – an irregular patch – and the X-ray doesn’t show any bullet in the head. So it was probably the shrapnel or any other thing has struck her in her said. That damaged her brain, causing it to ooze and her death. The report categorically says there’s no wound other than that," according to IBNLive.

Perhaps more shockingly, an attendee at the rally where Bhutto was killed says police charged with protecting her "abandoned their posts," leaving just a handful of Bhutto's own bodyguards protecting her.

"Police officers had frisked the 3,000 to 4,000 people attending Thursday's rally when they entered the park, but as the speakers from Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party droned on, the police abandoned many of their posts," wrote Saeed Shah in an essay published by McClatchy News Service. "As she drove out through the gate, her main protection appeared to be her own bodyguards, who wore their usual white T-shirts inscribed: 'Willing to die for Benazir.'"

While some intelligence officials, especially within the US, were quick to finger al Qaeda militants as responsible for Bhutto's death, it remains unclear precisely who was responsible and some speculation has centered on Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, its military or even forces loyal to the current president Pervez Musharraf. Rawalpindi, where Bhutto was killed, is the garrison city that houses the Pakistani military's headquarters.

"GHQ (general headquarters of the army) killed her," Sardar Saleem, a former member of parliament, told Shah at the hospital.

Whatever the case, Bhutto's precise cause of death may never be known because of the failure to administer an autopsy. The procedure was not carried out because police and local authorities in Rawalpindi did not request one, according to IBNLive, but the government plans a formal investigation why this was the case.

Musharraf initially blamed her death on unnamed Islamic militants, but Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz told The Associated Press on Friday that "we have the evidence that al-Qaida and the Taliban were behind the suicide attack on Benazir Bhutto."

He said investigators had resolved the "whole mystery" behind the opposition leader's killing and would give details at press conference later Friday.

The word is already out...she didn't die from shrapnel or gunshots...Al Queda did it. The MSM is just eating up the party lines again.

It's a good thing Oswald is dead, or he'd have gotten the blame for this too. He might yet. Anyone know where that damned Carcano is?

Uh huh. The whole mystery is mysteriously totally solved. Damn they are good. Or, they had their story ready before they murdered her... I wonder which is more likely? (ps, I am being sarcastic again. It's a character flaw)

Who gains? I smell a rat. A big CIA rat. Having her win an election would not be in the rats best interests. It's not in the rats bosses interest, either.

The reports of her death are just goofy - I mean killed by her sunroof? Shot? Blown-up?

It got confiscated by the government and used as a template for next-generation wonder rifles that can shoot bullets that turn 14 different ways and fatally wound 35 targets without losing any mass whatsoever. The Marines carry those now. Shhhh... it's a secret.

Condi Rice had brokered a deal between Bhutto and Musharef to share power laying the foundation for future transition between Mooshie going out in the sunset and Bhutto taking his place. Bhutto was being groomed to be DC's future puppet leader in Pakistan. So I don't understand your theory of the CIA snuffing out Bhutto. Bhutto was not pure as driven snow, btw. Her niece alleges that Bhutto had her father ( Bhutto's brother) murdered. This same niece alleged that Bhutto should have been tried for murder and corruption and for embezelling billions of dollars in gov't funds.

It MIGHT have been a CIA op of the same type that led to 9/11, whereas it's not the CIA itself, but a highly compartmentalized segment controlled by those that wish to see total chaos in the Middle East, resulting in a massive war that would result in a Middle Eastern Union. The same thing would have resulted if we had launched massive attacks against Iran, but with Pakistan in turmoil, we have a real excuse for taking action if their nukes are in peril.

I knew about that deal, that is what led me to think it was a setup. She was in exile in London and Dubai Source: http://agonist.org/20070604/bhutto_in_exile_talks_of_return_to_pakistan

It would not do to have a popular person get whacked in London or Dubai. It is so much easier to get her back in Pakistan, and murder her there, without the international incident (!) that this would have caused if it had happened outside of Palistan.

They have riots now, but if it had happened outside of the country they would still have domestic riots, and foreign riots and probably some genuine terrorist attacks (not the false flag BS)

This is why I think she might have been set up. But I don't claim any inside info. It just fits, IMO.

Bhutto wasn't even the popular front-runner against Musharef in the beginning until Rice and US State Department re-made her image and cast her as a democracy pioneer. Musharef had to have his arm twisted by DC to drop charges against Bhutto for corruption and embezzling gov't funds. Although Bhutto vigorously denounced fundie Muslims the past couple of months, in fact it was Bhutto who openly supported the Taliban when she was in office previously. Bhutto was in talks with Olmert to have Pakistan recognize Israel when she transitioned into Mushie's place. Bhutto was a DC bought and paid for puppet leader.

There's no way DC would want her offed - they had her set up to be another phony baloney Maliki, on the DC payroll. I'm all for blaming dubya and the neocons for the evil things they do and there is plenty of evil they cause but Bhutto's death? no, because Bhutto was DC's Golden Goose.

I think it was fundie Muslims that engineered her death because they saw her as a corrupted politician on salary and beholden to DC and playing footsie with Israel and furthermore they probably hated her for being a woman in a leadership position.

Here's an article that richard posted about the not so angelic Bhutto:

freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/re...gi? ArtNum=69543&Disp=1#C1

"Aunt Benazir's false promises -- Bhutto's return bodes poorly for Pakistan -- and for democracy there"

Also here's the news item about Bhutto's plans to recognize Izzy which not have been a very popular idea with the Paki fundies:

"Bhutto Wanted Ties Between Muslim Pakistan, Israel"

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Assassinated former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto wanted her country to normalize relations with Israel and could have acted as a bridge between Israel and the Muslim world, Israeli officials said. "I saw her as someone who could have served as a bridgehead to relations with that part of the Muslim world with whom our ties are naturally limited," Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted as saying on Thursday. Olmert said that Bhutto had relayed a message through a mutual acquaintance that she would like to "strengthen the ties between Israel and Pakistan" in the future. Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Dan Gillerman said that he and his wife had met for dinner with Bhutto and her husband. She was interested in normalizing relations with Israel and wanted Gillerman to relay that information to Washington, he said. Israeli President Shimon Peres said he had met Bhutto on several occasions, and she had expressed the hope that she could visit Israel "upon returning to power," he said. Israel and Pakistan have no official diplomatic ties, though Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has offered to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians and to visit Israel if it would help. Pakistan also received aid from Israel following a devastating earthquake.

Could a preemptive invasion followed by a U.S. vetted shiny new "young democracy" finally be in the cards for this social cesspool and most dangerous time bomb in the M.E.?

It's worked so well in Afghanistan and Iraq ... but times running out for the Decider.

Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?

I dont know how popular she was, while she was in exile, or what she did in the past. International politics is not my forte.

I know that the people there, right now, dont like it one bit that she was murdered. If she was unpopular, then IMO there wouldnt be this kind of reaction.

Right now, they are facing the very good possibility of a civil war http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml? xml=/news/2007/12/27/wbhutto128.xml&CMP=ILC-mostviewedbox
