According to the BBC, the Pakistani government has issued a statement saying the official cause of Ms Bhutto's death was "a knock on the head" from ducking into her vehicle and not bullets or shrapnel.
That's totally ridiculous. It goes against the testimony of many eye witnesses who have said she was shot twice before the suicide bomber's explosion went off. It sounds to me like the government is trying to play down the event, hoping that the martyr mystique will dissipate.
I don't think ascribing her death to a "knock on the head" is going to do it.
Oligarchical jerkfaces.
