The Sunday Telegraph
""Long live Bhutto," Benazir Bhutto shouted, waving to the crowd surging around her car. They were her last words before three gunshots rang out and she slumped back on to her seat.
"She did not say anything more," said Safdar Abbassi, her chief political adviser, who was sitting behind her.
In the first eyewitness account from inside the car, Dr Abbassi told The Sunday Telegraph: "All of a sudden there was the sound of firing. I heard the sound of a bullet.
"I saw her: she looked as though she ducked in when she heard the firing. We did not realise that she had been hit by a bullet."
He had looked up to see Miss Bhutto sliding back through the aperture in the roof of the white Land Cruiser. Moments later, the car was rocked by a huge explosion.
There was no sound from the fallen leader. Dr Abbassi leant forward to see what was wrong. At first glance, she appeared to have escaped injury. Then he noticed the blood. It was seeping from a deep wound on the left side of her neck....."
