We'll miss you! At a rally in New York, the slain Pakistani leader's supporters mourn her murder.
A close aide to Benazir Bhutto told AFP on Saturday that she saw a bullet wound in the Pakistani opposition leader's head when she bathed her body after her assassination. Bhutto's spokeswoman Sherry Rehman, who said she was in the former premier's motorcade at the time of the gun and
suicide attack, rejected government claims that the death was caused when Bhutto's head hit her sunroof.

"I was actually part of the party which bathed her body before the funeral," said Rehman, who added that her car was used to transport Bhutto to hospital.

"The hospital was made to change its statement. They never gave a proper report, "says Rehman

"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."

Rehman accused the government of mounting a cover-up over Bhutto'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."
