The police team has taken into custody the clothes she was wearing at the time of the suicide attack on her in Rawalpindi recently as well as her shoes, scarf, spectacles, mobile phone and the armoured Toyota Land Cruiser.

The items had been kept at Rawalpindi General Hospital, where Bhutto had been rushed by her aides following the attack on her outside the Liaquat Bagh ground, where she had addressed an election rally.

The investigators obtained a record of calls made to and from Bhutto’s cell phone before the attack, the Daily Times quoted sources as saying. They also obtained from mobile phone companies details of all calls made from within Liaquat Bagh and outside the ground, the sources said.

The sources said the left frame of Bhutto’s spectacles was slightly damaged while the left glass had some scratches. They said the investigators had drawn up the crime scene and the position of Bhutto’s vehicle when she was attacked by a gunman and a suicide bomber. The sleuths are also examining video footage and photographs of the attack that were shot privately and have surfaced since the incident.

Meanwhile, Dawn News channel aired yet another video made with a mobile phone camera that captured Bhutto’s last moments from her right side.

All previous footage and photographs of the incident were captured from her left side or back.

The grainy and shaky video clip shows Bhutto’s vehicle leaving Liaquat Bagh before it is stopped on the road by scores of people. Bhutto then pops out from her vehicle’s sun-roof to wave to her cheering supporters.

A Scotland Yard team is expected to arrive in Islamabad this week to assist in the investigation.
