Pakistani Paper Publishes Photo of Severed Head of Suicide Bomber in Bhutto Hit

By: E&P Staff The Pakistani Government today published a picture of what it said was the severed head of the suicide bomber who killed Benazir Bhutto -- and offered a reward to anyone able to identify him, the Times of London reports.

"Amid growing criticism of the police investigation into the opposition leader's killing, two pictures featuring men believed to be involved in the Rawalpindi shooting and suicide bombing were published today in Jang, the country's biggest-selling Urdu-language daily," the paper relates.

"As well as an image of the severed head of a clean-shaven man who police suspect to be the bomber, another image - taken in the minutes before the blast - shows a young man wearing sunglasses and a dark waistcoat staring at the camera with a man wrapped in a white shawl standing directly behind him. Alongside the pictures, the Government published a statement saying: 'The people?s co-operation is being sought in this tragic incident and a picture of the criminals is being released.'"
