Curious news from Pakistan, where some of the doctors at the hospital where Benazir Bhutto was taken say that she was not killed by bulllets or bomb shrapnel, but by a head injury. She was standing in her car with her upper body out of the sun roof; Bob Owens speculates that her bodyguards may have pulled her rapidly inside the car when shots were fired, causing her to strike her head on the edge. It sounds plausible, if the reports about her injuries are true: Confederate Yankee: What Killed Bhutto?
But here’s a report at Cnews that suggests the bomb blast may have been responsible: Pakistan now says Bhutto died of fractured skull.
But later Friday, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said all three shots missed her as she greeted supporters through the sunroof of her vehicle, which was bulletproof and bombproof.
He also denied that shrapnel caused her death, saying Bhutto was killed when she tried to duck back into the vehicle, and the shock waves from the blast knocked her head into a lever attached to the sunroof, fracturing her skull.
