Benazir died of head inury ducking in her car

Benazir Bhutto has not died on any bullets of AK47 or sharpen from the
bomb blast but she has died of head injury as she ducked as the bomb or
the bullets were fired at her car.

Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said all bullet shots
missed her as she was on the sunroof of her vehicle waving, which was
bulletproof and bombproof. Javed also denied that shrapnel caused her
death, saying Bhutto was killed when she tried to duck back into the
vehicle, as bomb shock waves from the blast knocked her head to mettle
attached to the sunroof, fracturing her right ear head skull.

"The injury over Bhutto's right ear had irregular edges. If there
were any bullet injuries, it would have been a little opening and wide
exit, but the cardiac arrest was due to brain injury," the doctor said.

An X-ray also showed no signs of bullet injuries. Doctors tried to
resuscitate Benazir and performed an open heart massage before
declaring her dead at 6:16 pm, he said

The
interior ministry said at a press conference that video of Ms Bhutto's
last moments and an examination by doctors had shown that Ms Bhutto
died apparently accidentally, a suicide bomb blast went off at her
political rally in Rawalpindi last night, killing around 20 people. The
post mortem examination had not been carried out at the request of Ms
Bhutto's husband.



Brigadier Javed Cheema, a ministry spokesman, said Ms Bhutto had died
from a head wound after smashing against the sunroof’s lever as she
tried to shelter inside her car. “There is no evidence of any foreign
element in her body," Brigadier Cheema said. “No bullet hit her, nor
any splinters hit her. Unfortunately, it was to be that way.

"I wish she had not come out of the roof top of her vehicle."

Brigadier Cheema insisted the Government had done everything in its
power to protect Ms Bhutto. He said everybody at the rally in
Rawalpindi had been searched, Ms Bhutto's rostrum had been bulletproof,
and "all possible security arrangements were made within the resources
of the Government of Pakistan".

He added: "It pains me, I say with a lot of anguish, that we wish she had not come out of that vehicle to wave to the people."
