Something is just too strange about the way that Musharraf's government has handled this thing. I have little doubt that we will start seeing him connected directly to this event (rightly or wrongly) and that Pakistan falls into an all out civil war. Sounds like he is going to suspend the constitution and impose martial law on top of postponing the elections.
They also claim that they have intercepted and recorded a message between Al-Qaeda leaders congratulating each other on the successful attack.
this is just going to get ugly.

There was also an eyewitness report that was at the hospital that spoke in pretty blunt terms that the shot that went through her spinal column and exited out of her head killed her, the second wound through the back and out the chest was just window dressing.
Eyewitnesses also state that the limo was moving away from the crowd at high speed when the explosion happened.
Here's what I think happened. The assassin came out of the crowd behind the limo. Pulled a pistol from a concealed space and shot her twice from behind. The first bullet hit her in the back of the neck and exited out of the skull killing her instantly. The second bullet entered her back and exited out of her chest. When a person is shot in the back with a low caliber bullet your back tends to arch as you fall. Bhutto probably fell straight down through the roof of the limo. Her body guards in the car saw this and were probably screaming blue murder and order the limo to the nearest hospital. The killer his job done went to do a last bit of damage and pulled the primacord on his vest blasting the crowd, but the shrapnel would have been defeated by the limo's armor.
As an add on, she was already dead as she fell or "ducked" into the limo after being shot, so her head probably bounced off of whatever was in that opening.
