Bhutto was scheduled to meet two US lawmakers after the Liaquat Bagh rally at 9:30 pm. In this meeting, she was about to expose the rigging plans of the government in the forthcoming polls, they said.

Bhutto usually used two bulletproof vehicles and often changed cars during a journey if she received an important call. When the attack occurred, there was a distance of 20 to 30 metres between these two vehicles.

At the time of the attack, Bhutto and PPP leaders Makhdoom Amin Fahim, Nahid Khan and Safdar Abbasi were sitting in one bulletproof car while spokesman Farhatullah Babar, Babar Awan and Bhutto’s security adviser Rehman Malik were in the other car, sources said.

They also said that two wills prepared by Bhutto were presented in the meeting of the PPP’s top leadership. Both wills were written by Bhutto and one was about her party while the other related to her personal property.

Bhutto’s close aide Sherry Rehman has claimed Bhutto was shot in the head and rejected as “absolute nonsense” the government’s contention that she died of a skull fracture during the suicide attack in Rawalpindi.
