There’s understandably a scramble of confusion in Pakistan over the untimely death of Benazir Bhutto. Much like the death of Kennedy in 1963, the country (and world) needs time to catch its breath after her assassination. And also similar to our countries treatment of Kennedy’s assassination, much analysis brews over exactly how she was killed.
A sniper’s bullet to the head? Neck? Chest? Or, maybe she caught shrapnel from the suicide bomber who blew himself up next to her vehicle? Or perhaps it wasn’t any of those means?
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died from injuries she suffered when hitting her vehicle’s sunroof - not from an assassin’s bullets, it has been claimed.
It was previously announced Ms Bhutto had died after being hit in the neck and chest.
But Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Cheema said all three shots missed her.
Instead, she was killed when she ducked back inside her car and hit her head on sunroof lever, fracturing her skull.
Really? A former aide for Ms. Bhutto calls this explanation of her death a “pack of lies”.
He also denied that shrapnel caused her death, saying Bhutto was killed when she tried to duck back into the vehicle, and the shock waves from the blast knocked her head into a lever attached to the sunroof, fracturing her skull.
Why is all this important, you ask? Perhaps it lessens the “victory” of her death from whichever terrorist group instigated it. Perhaps the argument over her death is just a way for the country to focus amidst it’s sorrow. Or maybe it’s just that she deserves the truth be told about her.
