Til å begynne med virket påstandene om at noen på innsiden sto bak attentat på Benazir Bhutto som litt for spekulative. Men det har nå kommet flere medlinger som til sammen tegner et mistenkelig bilde. At legene som behandlet Bhutto sier de er under et utrolig press om ikke å si noe, er nesten utrolig. Dette begynner å minne om attenatet på Libanons tidligere statsminister Rafik Hariri.

In interviews, doctors who were at Bhutto’s side at Rawalpindi General Hospital said they were under extreme pressure not to share details about the nature of the injuries that the opposition leader suffered in an attack here Dec. 27.

«The government took all the medical records right after Ms. Bhutto’s time of death was read out,» said a visibly shaken doctor who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Sweating and putting his head in his hands, he said: «Look, we have been told by the government to stop talking. And a lot of us feel this is a disgrace.»
..

Jameel Yusuf, a lead investigator in the 2002 disappearance of American journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi, said the Pakistani government had blundered badly by not sealing off the crime scene. Moments after Bhutto was killed, workers hosed down the blood at the blast site before any evidence could be collected.

«When you’re dealing with a murder of this nature, you need to have forensics,» Yusuf said.

Several witnesses say they had yet to be interviewed by police.
