Seriously. There's thread saying that is what CBS is now reporting.

8. I heard it on CBS radio, just a few minutes ago
I suppose the proximate cause of the heart attack could have been the combination of a sniper, bomb, and hitting her head.

10. Maybe that comes from the video of the "official version" . the doctor describes
her arrival at the hospital, saying she was not breathing, her pupils were dialated, and she did not have a pulse, suggesting that her heart had stopped. And that the first thing they did was to try to revive her heart. This does not say in any way that she had a heart attack. this is the same official guy who said she hit her head on a lever.

16. He also said that there was an extremely large wound on her head, the
Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 06:52 PM by Gloria
sort of thing that could cause her system to shut down (sic)

I'm wondering how, if she was standing facing forward, it was the back of her head that got clobbered.

On the other hand, was there enough blood on the seat and floor of the car from shots to the neck and/or torso? Or was the splatter on the edge of the car roof, handle, seat and floor from a head being blasted? Did you see any brain matter??

14. Pakistani government workers cleaned up the site immediately following...
the shooting. There was no forensic work done at the site and none apparently on the body.

Early news releases had eyewitnesses claiming three shots were fired. There were some who saw a gunman. The original report said that Bhutto was hit in the head and chest by bullets. The explosion occurred moments after the shooting.

She had opened the sunroof, stood up and waved to her supporters. That is when she was shot. Her torso fell back into the vehicle.

First med reports said that she had a fractured skull. Bullets will do that. Someone who bumped their head hard enough to fracture their skull would not have been standing up waving.

Heart stopped? Bullets will do that as well.

Anyone hear anything different from the above?

18. this just gets more insane...
Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 07:47 PM by nickinSTL
Here I quote (and add to) a post I posted in a thread in GD:

The constantly changing story on exactly how Ms. Bhutto died is...odd.

Shot before the bombing, shot after the bombing, hit by shrapnel, hit in the neck, hit in the neck and chest, broke her neck in her sunroof, and now it's a heart attack? :wtf:

First I've heard of someone questioning this:
Farooq Naik, a senior official in Ms Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party, said the government's explanation of her death was a "pack of lies".


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7163307.stm

They need to get their story straight, or there will be serious repercussions for the nation of Pakistan, I think.
