exhume

Bhutto body can be exhumed, says government

The Pakistani government has said it will let the body of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto be exhumed for inquiry if her party requested it to clear up conflicting reports as to how she died. A government spokesman said Bhutto died when her head slammed against her vehicle after a bomb blast while members of Pakistan People's Party say Bhutto died from bullet wounds in Thursday's assassination attack.

In a news conference on Saturday, an interior ministry spokesman repeated earlier statements that it holds Al Qaeda responsible for Bhutto's killing and that it had intercepted a message from a militant leader congratulating insurgents. Al Qaeda-linked Pakistani militant Baitullah Mehsud however has denied any involvement. Protests that sparked following Bhutto's death have
left at least 38 people dead.
