Re: Scotland Yard: Injury From Blast Killed Bhutto

Over the weekend, Athar Minallah, a board member at Rawalpindi General, e-mailed journalists Bhutto’s medical report. The report, which was separate from documents that doctors say have been confiscated, describes a deep wound in Bhutto’s head that was leaking brain matter.
No “foreign body” was found in the wound, the report says, and no exit wound was recorded. But in an X-ray of Bhutto’s skull, the doctors identified “two to three tiny radio-densities.” Minallah said in an interview that the report suggested those were bullet fragments.
U.S. medical experts said the “radio-densities” were probably not bullets.
Thomas M. Scalea, physician in chief of the shock trauma center at the University of Maryland Medical Center, said that while there was no evidence of a bullet wound, he was also perplexed by how the blunt force of Bhutto’s head against an object could have caused brain damage severe enough to kill her so quickly.
“The whole thing strikes me as very unusual,” said Scalea.
================================================
The only people who have clearly said they saw entry and exit wounds have been PPP senior leaders, none of whom are medically qualified to give a professional opinion on the exact nature of what they saw.
The one doctor who ever said she was killed by a bullet never mentioned whether or not there was a bullet entry or a bullet exit wound; and even he later changed his mind.
All other medical records looked at by the media or by the Pakistani and Scotland Yard inquiries clearly show no bullet entry wounds.
