The bomb blasts targeting former Premier Benazir Bhutto resembled attacks by al-Qaida and their allied Pakistani militants and were the work of two suicide bombers, the Governor of Sindh province has said.Governor Ishrat ul Ebad Khan said investigators have found the heads of two men that were not claimed by relatives and ‘almost certainly belong to the bombers’.Police had earlier said that a grenade caused the first, smaller explosion on Thursday night and that a lone suicide bomber triggered the second and bigger blast near the armoured truck in which Bhutto was travelling after her triumphant return to the port city of Karachi after eight years in self-exile.But Khan told The New York Times that police had found no traces of a grenade and had now pieced together the head of a second suspected suicide bomber."Certainly these are extremists," he said. "They are the people who want to sabotage the political process. In their perspective, it would be a lethal combination for all moderate democratic forces to come together so they wanted to sabotage, disrupt and derail this process." The bombers have not been identified but an investigator who was briefing the Governor on Monday evening said the men were ‘100 per cent’ Pakistani, the newspaper reported.The attack was similar in style to previous suicide bombings in Karachi and elsewhere, the investigator said. The bombers used C4 plastic explosive, the same type used in the bombing of a US consulate vehicle in Karachi in March 2006, he said.
