Detectives from Scotland Yard were asked by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to examine the circumstances surrounding Bhutto's death in December.British detectives investigating the death of ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto say she died from the effect of a bomb blast, not gunfire.But Bhutto's party has insisted she was shot by an assassin, and has accused the government of a cover-up.Ms Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has suggested that if sophisticated weaponry were used it could indicate the involvement of elements of the security establishment.TV pictures that emerged after Bhutto's death on 27 December appeared to show a gunman aiming a weapon at the Pakistani opposition leader as she stood through the escape hatch of a vehicle during a rally in Rawalpindi.The UK police reportconfirmed that shots were fired - but said they were not the cause of death.
It said after discharging his firearm the attacker had detonated explosives, blowing himself up.The report said the evidence suggested there was only one attacker, not two, as had been speculated.
