RAWALPINDI, Jan 5: The Scotland Yard’s investigators visited the Liaquat Bagh on Saturday and examined Benazir Bhutto’s bullet-proof car.

The British team arrived at the scene of the blast at 2.55pm and stayed there for over two hours.

The security forces cordoned off the periphery of the park hours before the team’s arrival.

Earlier, an interesting situation developed when the British team visited Police Lines Headquarters, Rawalpindi, to examine Ms Bhutto’s car.

A source said the police officials were taken by surprise when the experts asked them to produce the black shoes she had been wearing at the time of the assassination and which were later declared a “case property”. But the shoes were not found in the car.

The source said after some time, a DSP brought Ms Bhutto’s shoes from “somewhere else” and gave it to the investigators.

In the afternoon, the Scotland Yard team went to the Police Lines, re-examining Ms Bhutto’s car and inspecting her squad car, which had been impounded by the police after the tragedy.

A heavy deployment of police and Elite Force guarded the scene and police commandos had perched themselves on rooftops.

The officials later saw a reconstruction of the events leading to the assassination.

The team was shown a jeep parked right in the middle of the road in a re-enactment of the scene when Ms Bhutto’s vehicle stopped before the attack.

The British team also inquired about the security plan for Dec 27 and positions of senior police officials. They also saw the stage and the park’s vicinity.

The experts also inspected rooftops of some buildings within a radius of 150-200 metres from the scene of the shooting, taking some measurements and photographs.

A source close to the investigation said the police had retrieved two pistols from the place — one of which was thought to be that of the assassin.

Earlier on Friday night, the Pakistani team probing the incident visited the District Headquarters Hospital and examined some human body parts.
