Anyway, back to the story....it's saying she was shot in the neck, not blown up.

Re: Benazir Bhutto killed in blast

The BBC report mentioned pellets that the bomb was apparently packed with may have killed her. Doesn't mean she wasn't shot by a gun, of course.

I just heard on the news that she was shot in the neck by a "gunman" who then blew himself up.
Although, obviously news reports at this stage are probably going to consist of Chinese whispers.
