Does it matter which piece of metal killed her?

I look forward to seeing our politicians wearing crash helmets in the future. The less we actually see of them, the better.

She was assassinated by terrorists, either way.

Pakistanis are a romantic lot! They, and in particular, the PPP, want to glamourise Bhutto's death. Dying in a hail of bullets, is more sexy than dying due to Bhutto's head hitting a side panel. You only have to see the initial reaction/denial on Sherry Rahman (incidentally a first-hand witness) and the PPP to understand that they would rather Bhutto have died because of a conspiracy. The cause of death is a political issue and the election is being run to milk sympathy for Bhutto.

Why are we wasting police resources in Pakistan when there are so many problems on our own streets!!! More labour waste

What the hell has who murdered this woman got to do with Scotland Yard.
I thought these people were worked to the bone and never had time to investigate anything.
Yet there's plenty of time for a bit extra work when there is some foreign travel thrown in.

Douglas Maxwell, Richmond,

One reason it's important to find out exactly what killed Bhutto, is that when the Pakistani gov't said she died from hitting her head against the opening of the escape hatch, they implied her injury was accidentally self-inflicted, from ducking into the car "too fast". Some of Bhutto's supporters claimed this was an attempt to rob her of full martyr status--some felt that a true martyr has to die as a direct result of weapons used by the assassin. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either--I'd think a martyr who dies as a result of any action taken by an assassin, would still be just as much a martyr. But Scotland Yard's report gives her pretty much the full martyr status her supporters want--the bomb blast pushed her head against the edge of the escape hatch at high speed, so she died pretty much as a direct result of one of the assassin's weapons, the bomb blast.

Bhutto's head X-ray shows a sharply-defined dent that could be expected of this kind of event, so though an autopsy would have been best, the X-ray seems to corroborate this.

I'm rather baffled that Scotland Yard can draw supposedly strong conclusions when there was no autopsy!

Can someone explain why it is so important whether she was shot or killed as a result of a bomb blast?

THE ONLY QUESTION ? WHEN DID Mrs b get the head wound, if scotland yard say she died from head truma,

michael joseph heavey, cahersiveen>adams towns, madness

This finding does not affect the fact that Ms Bhutto was attacked by a gunman and a suicide bomber, and died as a consequence. Whether she died as a direct result of the gunshot or because of head injuries from ducking away from the bomb blast (which would have been an uncontrollable reflex action) should make no difference.

Edward Brightman, London,

It is an immature waste of time to place the importance of the actual cause of death in this case above the intent to cause bodily harm. It is obvious the intent was to cause death and / or bodily harm to Ms Bhutto. That fact is clear. Would it be better if a land side killed Ms Bhutto being caused by the detonation of explosions deliberately set by the opposition? The intent is clear. Trying to escape responsibility by a technicality is ridiculous and an unfortunate character flaw in teenage children. In grown men it is disgusting and cowardly and seen internationally time and time again. As if trying to dance their way out of responsibility some how resolves these men of their responsibility, where in reality it just makes them look weak and stupid.

If they could not examine the body, what weight can be given to any conclusion they might reach? Examining videos of the event is all very well, but look at the confusion surrounding the 'grassy knoll' incident.
