In a television interview, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly conceded that a gunman may have shot Benazir Bhutto but said the opposition leader exposed herself to danger and bore responsibility for her death.
''For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone. Nobody else. Responsibility is hers,'' said Musharraf in an interview with the CBS channel.
The Pakistan government has all along claimed that Bhutto died when she struck her head on a handle on her vehicle's sunroof, a contention widely derided in Pakistan where many people suspect Musharraf's government of complicity.
The government has also blamed Al-Qaida for the attack.
Musharraf was asked by CBS, which provided excerpts of the interview, whether a gunshot could have caused Bhutto's head injury.
Musharraf replied, ''Yes, absolutely, yes. Possibility''.
Bhutto was attacked when she emerged from the sun-roof of her car after addressing an election rally in the garrison city.
