I decided to find out what Wikipedia said on this issue, since I figured the
article would not be written by a believer. It says:
The events surrounding the execution of the Báb have received several
critical reviews. Bábí, and today Bahá'í reports claim that it was a
miracle of God, when the first firing of 750 bullets completely missed him
and cut the ropes suspending him. Reports continue by stating that after
the smoke had cleared, the Báb was nowhere to be seen and was found back in
his prison room finishing dictation to His secretary. Other sources, which
include Persian and European reports, give a variety of accounts, some in
agreement with the miracle-like Bahá'í story, and some claiming that he was
killed by the first shots (there is a possibility that some of these simply
omitted parts of the story >altogether). All agree that he was eventually
killed.
Could someone tell me about the reports that claimed the Bab was killed by
the first shots? I didn't realize that any sources claimed that.
Regards,
David
