“Pakistani authorities have pressured the medical personnel who tried to save Benazir Bhutto’s life to remain silent about what happened in her final hour and have removed records of her treatment from the facility, according to doctors. In interviews, doctors who were at Bhutto’s side at Rawalpindi General Hospital said they were under extreme pressure not to share details about the nature of the injuries that the opposition leader suffered in an attack here Dec. 27.

“The government took all the medical records right after Ms. Bhutto’s time of death was read out,” said a visibly shaken doctor who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Sweating and putting his head in his hands, he said: “Look, we have been told by the government to stop talking. And a lot of us feel this is a disgrace.”

The doctors now find themselves at the center of a political firestorm over the circumstances of Bhutto’s death. The government has said Bhutto, 54, was killed after the force of a suicide bombing caused her head to slam against the lever of her vehicle’s sunroof. Bhutto’s supporters have pointed to video footage, including a new amateur video released Monday, as proof that she was killed by gunfire. “

And what does it say about the Indian Army that has been kept on the defensive by such an enemy?

they’re too pre-occupied with running their 7-11s?

I implore you (and everyone else) to treat that question as a rhetorical one. The last Bhutto thread was shut down because of tangents like that.

What kind of an Army makes such a buffoon a brigadier general? No wonder the Pakistan Army is terrified of going into Waziristan and fighting the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

And what does it say about the Indian Army that has been kept on the defensive by such an enemy?
