"Ultimately, governments have to accept responsibility for the circumstances under which such acts take place," said Rasul Baksh Rais of the Lahore University of Management Sciences.

The government's explanation of how she died -- it said she hit her head on a vehicle sunroof -- and its outright rejection by Bhutto's party will add to those questions.

Pakistan has a long history of not answering those questions.

General Zia, Bhutto's brothers Murtaza and Shahnawaz and Pakistan's first prime minister Liaqat Ali Khan all died in mysterious circumstances, and debate still rages today over who was responsible.
