The Hindustan Times is reporting that the Pakistan government is backing away completely from its claim that Bemazir Bhutto died from a head wound on Dec. 27.
The paper says the government wants to "apologize" for asserting that Bhutto died from a widely reported knock on the head while riding in a bullet-proof vehicle during a rally in support of her candidacy for leadership of country.
The Pak paper says the government wants people to "forgive and forget" its claims about a fatal "skull fracture."
To reinforce the government's new "never mind" stance on the theory of the head wound to Bhutto, the Punjab Home Ministry has run a full, front-page ad offering a reward for information "about a gunman" seen in photos and videos of Bhutto's motorcade, taken before and during the attack.
