 The Scotland Yard team investigating the murder of former premier Benazir Bhutto has suspected that a sniper might have shot her, a Pakistani police officer working with the team told Daily Times on Sunday.
| Tell 'em about the grassy knoll! |
He said, “Besides some other angles, the British team is also working on the assumption that a sniper could have shot Benazir dead.”
| We heard three shots from the pistol in the video, but they were there to cover the sound of the actual shot that killed her. |
Sources said the British team had visited the crime scene and examined the buildings surrounding the area, yet they were far from reaching any conclusion.
| I'd start my search with the minaret of the nearest mosque. |
They said the team had also examined BenazirÂ’s vehicle and taken photographs from different angles, along with making notes.
| Hope they took a close look at those deadly sunroof handle. And checked them for poison. |
They said the investigators also checked the duty rostrum of the police and found that it was the duty of an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to escort Benazir. They said the investigators questioned why the ASP was not present on the scene.
"Legume, there is no such thing as coincidence!"
"But what if he was at lunch, Inspector?"
"Lunch and coincidence are two different things!" |
Sources added that the detectives had certain reservations about the security plan formulated for Benazir by the Rawalpindi police. The team also watched the footage of the incident several times, in which Benazir could be seen leaving the stage after addressing a rally, getting into her vehicle, standing and waving to the crowd from the vehicleÂ’s sunroof and thereafter the gunfire assault on her. |
