Interesting.

Why "interesting"?

If she were, by virtue of standing up in the sunroof, the only one in the car exposed to the blast, why would this not be "as expected"?

After all, the automobile was armored, with bulletproof glass.

I meant interesting in the sense that the media took so long to say this. It took a blog (Captain's Quarters) to say what the AP, Reuters, etc. haven't yet stated (at least to my knowledge).

So she was ducking down, bomb went off, she got blown into the sunroof (some reports saying “sunroof lever”) hard enough to not just crack her skull, but by at least one report, have her arrive at the hospital with brain matter exposed? This is getting weird.

Well, some earlier reports said that terrorists firing “armor piercing bullets” had wounded her several times after the bomb went off, and there was at least one published report that she arrived at the hospital with a head wound so bad there was actually brain matter showing.

Probably just the confusion and rush to be first that usually accompanies any big story, but this report is much different from the earlier ones.
