The assassination is being pinned on the Captain. He's just being made to look like his ship delivered the bomb / assassins / bioagent / terrorists.
There are several story elements about sleeper agents and misdirected blame that could provide a basic framework for what is supposed to be happening here.
i will take a to-do item to improve the text.

I could see this either being just some wingnut's conspiracy theory linking the timing of the salvage op with the death of a known figure or, like Cory said, an after the fact deliberate attempt to make it look like the captain is responsible for this tragedy. Unless the dead contact was the one who hired the captain for this job or passed the rumor on (doesn't make sense for a retired xeno-hunter), the only other possibility I can see would be an assassination designed to force the captain to change his plans in some way. Remember when the operative killed everybody with connections to Mal and his crew in the Serenity movie to force them to surface/deny them any safe places to hide? Then again, that wouldn't really link directly to the job... Maybe just trying to scare the captain off, like the bad guys in every Scooby-doo cartoon ever?

I like to think of the called bluff scenario. You have the goods, but some other captain has your contact held hostage. You refuse to hand over the goods, after all you barely know the contact and this other captain/pirate just got some bad intel about how much this contact meant to you. (Or that it was even one of your contacts!)
You say "sure, let em fry" and they record you saying that and boom. Whole sector is more outraged by your apathy then they are at the *murderers*
