I believe that bodies are very sacred in Islam, even more so than Christianity...she probably either didn't want an autopsy or it was unheard of.

I also heard - this was CNN, mind you, and I normally watch the BBC - that the person shot her, then blew himself up for insurance against her living.

NPR said people saw a gun men.  I don't know how valid the car thing is.

But considering the situation - would save further arguments or even more violence and deaths

Another thing i don't understand is that they are arguing about what killed her: bullet, sun-roof thingy or shrapnel from a bomb or a mixture of the three. Why was no autopsy carried out especially considering the nature of her death...

The doctor apparently concluded that a bullet caused her death.  As for the government changing the "official" cause of death, that's because Musharraf wants to avoid too much blame for her assassination on account of his not providing her sufficient security.  Still, I don't see how her banging her head on the edge of the car's sunroof as a result of the blast is any better for Musharraf than her being shot.  Both would have been a result of loose security.

I wonder if Musharraf is going to use this to his advantage.  The whole reason he came to power is so he could combat these terrorist.  If he really wants to do that, here is an event he could use to give a reason why.  Then again, I am sure being in power is one if his only goals. :idk:
