Bhutto Had No Bullet Wounds, Head Trauma Killed Her
Contrary to all initial reports of Benazir Bhutto being hit in the chest and neck with bullets, the doctors who attempted to revive her say she had no bullet wounds. You can read the article below for the exact term, but the bottom line is she had a hole in her head and her brain was exposed. Speculation is shrapnel from the bomb or other object that hit her when the bomb exploded.
From IBNLive:
New Delhi: Mystery shrouds the death of former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto. In an explosive revelation, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz on Friday said that Bhutto did not die of bullet wounds.
Nawaz said that Bhutto died from a head injury. At least seven doctors from the Rawalpindi General Hospital – where the leader was rushed immediately after the attack – say there were no bullet marks on Bhutto’s body.
The doctors have submitted a report to the Pakistan government in which they say that no post-mortem was performed on Bhutto’s body and they had not received any instructions to perform one.
“The report says she had head injuries – an irregular patch – and the X-ray doesn’t show any bullet in the head. So it was probably the shrapnel or any other thing has struck her in her said. That damaged her brain, causing it to ooze and her death. The report categorically ssyas there’s no wound other than that,” Nawaz told a Pakistani news channel.
Government sources say there will be an investigation to determine why no autopsy was conducted.
According to agency reports doctors at the Rawalpindi General Hospital tried desperately for 41 minutes to revive former prime minister Bhutto after she was shot but failed in their efforts.
Bhutto was declared dead 41 minutes after she was brought the hospital’s emergency department at 1735 hrs (local time) (1805 hrs IST) with open wounds on her left temporal bone from which “brain matter was exuding”, the report said.
It said Bhutto was not breathing at the time and her pulse and blood pressure “were not recordable”.
IANS adds: According to the report, “immediate resuscitation (process) was started” and she was taken to the operation theatre where she was attended by a team of doctors headed by Musaddiq Khan, principal of the Rawalpindi Medical College, Dawn reported Friday.
“Left antrolateral thoracotomy for open cardiac massage was performed,” the hospital report said, adding: “In spite of all the possible measures she could not be revived and (was) declared dead at 1816 hrs IST (6.16 p.m.).”
An autopsy was not carried out at the hospital “because the district administration and police had not requested the hospital authorities (for this)”, the report said.
Bhutto was shot not far from where Pakistan’s first prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan was killed by an assassin’s bullet on Oct 16, 1951.

I believe it was on one of these related threads yesterday that someone pointed out the ball bearings used in these high impact IEDs could give the appearance of bullet wounds.

Just like they were going to do a thorough investigation of the site of the assassination. Anyone see how they investigated that? Body parts, blood twisted metal all in the street and they call in the fire department to wash it all away with a water hose. Great investigation techniques they have there.
December 28th, 2007 at 9:02 amReminds me of the grassy knoll in Dallas. Initial reports had the shots that killed Kennedy coming from that area - later, even though eye witnesses saw something that indicated gunfire coming from the knoll, it was officially reported no shots were ever fired from there.
December 28th, 2007 at 9:13 amThe ONLY serious investigating into this will be done by OUR own intelligence agencies … And then the results will be kept under-wraps.
