Pakistan's Bhutto was Shot in Head, says Aide

Benazir Bhutto was shot in the head, a close aide who prepared her body for burial said on Saturday, dismissing as "ludicrous" a government theory that she died after hitting her head on a sunroof during the suicide attack.

Sherry Rehman, a spokeswoman for Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party and close aide, was in the car behind her at the end of a political rally when an attacker fired shots at the opposition leader and then blew himself up.

Bhutto death accidental..no shrapnel/bullet found

What story do you believe? The Pakistani government claim of her fracturing her skull? The examiner who said a shrapnel wound? or this aide who was very near the scene of the assasination?

The least believeable to me is that the handle of the roof fractured her skull causing her death.

Another interesting bit of information comes from this quote:

Rehman did not see the attacker, and was looking the other way just prior to the attack as she and a colleague suddenly noticed they were surrounded by unfamiliar faces.

"We were seeing people who were unfamiliar suddenly wearing Bhutto badges," she said.

Who were the unfamiliar? Bhutto badges? security badges? or campaign badges?
