Force of blast killed Bhutto, not bullet

Pakistani Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed by the force of a suicide bomb and not by an assassin's bullet, The New York Times reported in Friday's editions, quoting officials briefed by Scotland Yard investigators.

Benazir died on December 27 while campaigning in Rawalpindi. Controversy rages in Pakistan over whether the popular politician was struck down by a bullet or by a concussive injury caused by the bomb detonated after an assassin shot at her from close range.

President Pervez Musharraf asked Britain's Scotland Yard to help in the investigation.
A poll conducted by Gallup Pakistan found almost half of all Pakistanis believed government agencies or politicians allied to Musharraf were involved in the assassination.

The report, which will be presented to the Pakistani government and Bhutto's family today, said Benazir died after the suicide blast detonated and she hit her head, the New York Times said.
