that killed Benazir, sort of.
This guy shooting at her was really close and he missed her 3 times. The bomb or sharpnels did not touch her, it was the metallic lever causing a depressed fracture of the skull.
I don’t know how long it took them to take Benazir to hospital, but usually patients even of very severe head injury survive for hours. BB was dead when she arrived at hospital. The only way head injury kills more quikly is if the lower part of the brain called brain stem is injured which controls heart beat and breathing. But BB was hit in temple.
The only thing that cud kill her so quikly that i can think of is if she had a massive bleeding inside her head, that caused pressure on brain stem.
Its unfortunate that the doctors at the hospital only obtained X-rays and not CT scans that could show if she had bleeding. I dunno why they did nto consider it, may be it was too big an event for them to think rationally or they thought it wud be the job of forensics to determine the cause of death and not theirs.
I am not trying to advocate any conspiracy theory here, i beleive what Cheema said in press conference is accurate. Coz the whole event occured in presence of top PPP leadership and if she indeed had gunshots in neck and chest it would have been spotted by Sherry Rehman or Naheed Khan or others inside he car or by her family members prior to her burial.
