Maybe my eyes were bad, but I couldn’t tell if she was shot or not.

I did certainly hear what sounded like three shots followed by the suicide bomber’s explosion. That, and the earlier video and stories, suggest that the plan was to shoot her and then blow up the shooter as well as the crowd, to prevent an arrest or identification of who was responsible.

It still seems possible that the shots missed, although now I wonder if a healthy person would be likely to kill herself with a bumped head when ducking back into the car.

I also wonder if Musharref will follow up on yesterday’s offer to exhume her so people can have a look. And I still don’t see what he gains by arguing the point. She was still basically killed by the Taliban terrorists.

You can certainly see her headscarf blow upwards, though

In the video, the white hood covering her head flew off just before she disappeared. It went forward, shot off by the man behind her.
If the bomb had caused her to strike her head against the lever, there would be bomb fragments on her head and clothes. No need to exhume her, just check her clothing for particles like those that splattered all over the exterior of the SUV.

You said — “... although now I wonder if a healthy person would be likely to kill herself with a bumped head when ducking back into the car.”

I got the idea that they were saying that the blast forcibly threw her head into that mechanism (on the car) and drove a big gash in her head, causing her death. At least, that’s the idea I got from the government’s story.

And then you said — “I also wonder if Musharref will follow up on yesterday’s offer to exhume her so people can have a look.”

Wasn’t it Musharaff (or the government) who made the offer to do that — if — the family would request it? If I understood the situation right, it seems that Musharaff will have it done, but that the family has to make the request.

Now, at this point, I wonder if the family really wants to make the request, because it seems that if they want the political situation to favor them, they would rather have the exact nature of the killing of Bhutto be very vague and “muddy” — so that they could make up all sorts of stories to benefit themselves (and the political party).

So, my guess is that they family will not want to “clarify” the situation, because that would serve to “take away the steam” from the political situation, which they are hoping will benefit themselves (politically speaking).

I just saw it on tv, it was hard to tell for sure. They did show the crank on the sunroof, and there was no blood on it. If it was from the same vehicle :-(. After so many permutations of the "official" version, it is hard not to be suspicious. Also there was a doctor who said there were bullet wounds in her head.

I wouldn't have seen it if my daughter hadn't turned on the tv and yelled at me to come see it.

Go to India Times website they have it from the other side. He got her at least once for sure.

Look at her left temple at 1:16/17 into the video. You can see rapid movement of her veil outward from her head at the moment of impact. After the second shot strikes her, her body drops straight down and into the vehicle.

The car is bullet proof and bomb proof. She dropped inside the car before the bomb went off. There's a pool of residual blood on the seat where she was located. Once again, the car is bullet proof and bomb proof.
