The following Report was directly e-mailed to me from Rawalpindi shortly after the assassination of Ms. Bhutto in Lahore, in 2007:
"On 27-12-2007 at approximately 5.35 p.m. a female patient was brought in Accident & Emergency Department of Rawalpindi General Hospital, Rawalpindi. She was brough to the Rescuscitation Room and was received by Dr. Aurangzeb Khan and Dr. Saeeda of Surgical Unit-II. This patient was identified as Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
Dr. Habib Ahmad Khan, Medical Superintendent RGH also arrived immediately.
The condition appreciate at the time of receiving the patient was as follows -
The patient was pulseless and was not breathing. She was markedly pale. Her pupils were fixed, dilated and non reacting to light. A wound was present on the right temporoparietal region through which blood was trickling down and whitish material which looked like brain mater was visible in the wound. Her clothes were soaked with blood.
Immediately cardiopulmonary resuscitation was started. She was ventilated by Ambu bag and within a minute was intubated with endotracheal tube, blood mixed with secretions was noticed in the throat, that was suctioned out before intubation. External cardiac compression were started. A cannula was passed in her right hand and intravenous fluids were pushed in. Inj. adrenaline was given.
No response was seen. Patient was shifted to emergency operation theatre while resuscitation was continued.
In operation theatre Dr. Arshad, Anaesthetist joined the team. Prof Mussadiq Khan also joined the team at 5.50 PM. As external cardiac masssage was not leading to any success therefore open cardiac massage was stared via left antero-lateral thoractomy. No blood was seen in the left thoracic cavity or the pericardium. There was no cardiac muscular activity seen.
Artifician assisted ventilation, internal cardiac massage and intravenous fluid resuscitation was continued. She was given intra cardiac adrenaline, calcium fluconate. These drugs along with sodium bicarbonate were also repeated intravenously.
Though no cardiac activity was seen but in order to treat fine ventricular fibrillation, electrical defibrillation was carried out. No cardiac response was seen.
Prof. Azam Yusuf and Dr. Qudsia had also joined the resuscitation team.
Pupils were fixed and dilated, no evidence of any cardiac or respiratory activiyt was observed. ECG showed no electrical activiyt.
At 6.16 p.m. it was decided to stop resusciation and patient was declared dead. The thoracotomy wound was closed. Fractured rib due to resuscitative thoracotomy was noticed.
Prof. Arif Malik and Prof Saleem also reached by then."
I have other medical details which I choose to omit here but have posted today as a separate posting. The total of the info given to me from Rawalpindi by e-mail in 2007 is three pages, one page of which are the signatures of the various doctors who received Ms. Bhutto's body at the Rawalpindi Hospital.

The purpose and point of this posting is the raw murder of one who I admired as a potentially electable President of Pakistan who advocated democracy for her people. Investigations continue to this day as to "who" the assassins were. These are facts of a horrible nature of the hand of al Qaida and the Taliban who warned Ms. Bhutto that they would "get her" which they did!
