| Description | (CBS) The assassination of his chief political rival was her own fault, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf tells Lara Logan in his first one-on-one interview since the death of Benazir Bhutto.
The exclusive interview will be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
In the interview that took place in Pakistan Saturday morning, Musharraf tells Logan, "For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone. Nobody else. Responsibility is hers." Bhutto was killed in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi last week while standing up in a moving car with her head through the roof hatch.
A suicide bomber blew himself up near her car at the time of her death and the government of Pakistan initially said the concussion of the blast caused her to hit her head on the roof hatch. There was also a gunman present, but it's not known whether his shots hit Bhutto.
Asked by Logan if he believes a gunshot could be the cause of Bhutto's head injury, he replies, "Yes, yes."
"So she may have been shot?" asks Logan.
"Yes, absolutely, yes. Possibility," says Musharraf. |
