Pakistani Govt Reverses Itself On Bhutto’s Death

January 1, 2008 · Filed Under World News

In a dramatic U-turn, Pakistan government has “apologized” 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.

This sudden U-turn is likely a direct result of various privately shot movies and pictures that actually recorded the assassination second by second.

The Hot Joints posted a dramatic video yesterday confirming once and for all that Bhutto was indeed shot. The footage actually shows the gun being fired and the bullets striking the former prime minister seconds before a suicide bomber blew himself up.
