What caused my flat tire?

The car: '96 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo with 162,000 miles
The flat: front, driver's side on a tire with 6,000 miles or less
The flat occured in the following two step process: the inside of the tire tread (see picture) was worn down which made it susceptible to puncture by a small rock.
Here's my question: What caused the tread on that section of the tire to wear down so severely?
Is it...
- bad suspension? The shocks have never been replaced.
- bad alignment? Nothing has been adjusted since I bought the car 40,000 miles ago.
- an asymmetric wheel? The wheel is no longer balanced, according to the mechanic.
or the more expensive...
- all-of-the-above option?
Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. The finger in the picture is not my own.
