If Zardari won’t allow an autopsy and her supporters have ruled one out, the speculation will never end. The descriptions of the scene make it quite plausible that she was shot and Musharraf has said he has no problem with an exhumation. However, continued uncertainty about what happened may be the goal of many of the involved parties.
