A Pakistani television station has released footage which it says shows a gunman firing at opposition leader Benazir Bhutto before an accomplice detonates a suicide bomb.
The new, exclusive images from the Pakistani-based DawnNews TV show a young gunman, wearing sunglasses and dressed in a light-brown sports jacket, firing at Ms Bhutto as she stands out of the sunroof of her Range Rover after a rally in the city of Rawalpindi on Thursday.
The footage, posted on Sky News, shows Ms Bhutto shortly before the shooting, and prior to the suicide blast, contradicting official claims that she ducked to avoid the shots and cracked her skull on the sunroof, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported.
The Government’s version, which included only partial footage of the attack, has been met with widespread derision.
Ms Bhutto’s senior aides inside the vehicle are adamant she was shot.
Last night, Pakistan Interior Ministry officials again insisted Ms Bhutto died after cracking her skull off a lever of the vehicle’s sunroof.
