VIDEO Interview with Icon from Benazir Bhutto Assassination (Credit: Video production by Dale Fitzgerald)

FOUR YEARS AGO, MRS. BENAZIR BHUTTO WAS MURDERED. Who was the Man in the Brown Jacket? Newspapers around the world featured an emotional man in a brown jacket walking among the splattered human remains in the aftermath of the suicide bomb and gun fire that took her life and the lives of twenty-four other people.The photo captions speculated that he was a Bhutto follower, but the journalists present at the assassination scene never asked him his name. The grisly images on the Associated Press website have incorrect time stamps. Why? Our six-part special investigation, to be published during the weeklong anniversary of Mrs. Bhutto’s death, explores these questions and more.Part 1 and Part 2 of this investigation.

UPDATE: 12/30/2011 11:38 AM EST: Fixed date stamp. Story was published Dec. 28.
