Benazir Bhuto's demise: The Conspiracy theory

1. There are many video recordings showing the final moments of Benazir's ordeal packed life. In some of these videos, we can see blood spatters (although not entirely clear) which contradicts the official report which affirms that Benazir, in fact fractured her head on her way down to cover herself from the shooting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJufQxCgCoY&NR=1



2. From a physics point of view,

d = the distance of her head from the roof panel of her car. (~0.7m)
g = gravity (~9.8m/s^2)
g* = gravity + her own initiated acceleration
u = initial velocity initiated by Benazir downwards (~0m/s)
v = final velocity that we are interested in

(this is just a crude calculation which should be in the range of the actual values)

v^2 = u^2 + 2g*d
v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8 + 0.2)(0.7)
v = sqrt(14)
v = 3.74m/s
v = (0.00374*3600)km/hr
v = 13.5 km/hr
= 8.4 mph

I made some assumptions here.

3. So, assume a blunt object is approaching your head at 13.5km/hr or 8.4 mph, can this cause severe head trauma that could lead to death? Please do let me know if you find any articles supporting this.

4. It is also reported that the crime scene is immediately cleaned up to the extent that even the witnesses couldn't tell if anything had happened there.

5. On the other hand, it is also reported that between 1999-2000, Benazir's assets (from bank accounts around the world, real estates, firms and et) sums up to USD 1.5 billion. http://www.pakistanthinktank.org/default.php/p/articles/pk/585.
The question remains... how did she managed to amass that much of money?


6. From a political stand of view, it is not logical for the reigning government to kill an opposition party leader 1 week before the election as this action would certainly backfire and cause an imminent downfall. An experienced Politician like Musharraf knows better the pitfall of such act.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?
  • Choose our leaders prudently as they not only represent us, but they are also inadvertently put in charge of a huge deal of the countries wealth and comoditi. The people gets the government they deserve... in a democratic system of course.
