Hospital: Rawalpindi’s Police Chief Stopped Benazir Bhutto Autopsy

The controversy continues to deepen with each passing day:

Rawalpindi’s police chief stopped doctors at the hospital where Benazir Bhutto died from conducting an autopsy, according to a lawyer on the hospital’s board.

In a video released Sunday, Benazir Bhutto, far right, appears through the sunroof before shots ring out.

It was a violation of Pakistani criminal law and prevented a medical conclusion about what killed the former prime minister, said Athar Minallah, who serves on the board that manages Rawalpindi General Hospital.

However, the police chief involved, Aziz Saud, told CNN that he suggested an autopsy be done, but that Bhutto’s husband objected.

It may take a little while but I think we’ll get to the bottom of this story and find the exact cause of her death.
