Benazir was shot in the head: Sherry

* PPP leader says government mounting cover-up over Benazir’s death
* Rehman Malik wants fair investigation of incident

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party Information Secretary Sherry Rehman said on Saturday that she saw a bullet wound in Benazir’s head when she bathed her body after her assassination, AFP reported.

She said that she was in the former premier’s motorcade at the time of the gun and suicide attack and rejected government claims that the death was caused when Benazir’s head hit her sunroof.

“I was actually part of the party which bathed her body before the funeral,” she said, adding that her car was used to transport Benazir to hospital. “There was a bullet wound I saw that went in from the back of her head and came out the other side. We could not even wash her properly because the wound was still seeping. She lost a huge amount of blood,” Sherry explained.

Cover-up: Sherry accused the government of mounting a cover-up over Benazir’s death. “The hospital was made to change its statement. They never gave a proper report,” she said. “I believe the Interior Ministry is saying that she died from some concussion that may have taken place against the sunroof. This is ridiculous, dangerous nonsense because it is a cover-up of what actually happened,” she added. She said the government had denied Benazir the security measures she had been asking for, Reuters adds.

Fair investigation: Rehman Malik, former bureaucrat and chief security officer of the late Pakistan People’s Party Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto, has said that the party does not want to blame any one for the murder of Benazir, but wants a fair investigation, NNI reported. He said that the government had not provided them with a completely bulletproof vehicle according to the PPP’s demands and had provided them only with jammers. agencies
