| UN report into Bhutto's murder will be submitted |
| 2010-02-27 |
| [Dawn] UN Commission probing the assassination of Benazir Bhutto says it would submit its findings on 31st March to Pakistan's government, according to DawnNews. The UN had appointed a three-member inquiry commission to determine the facts and circumstances under which Bhutto was assassinated on December 27, 2007. The United Nations Inquiry Commission arrived to discuss security issues with Pakistani authorities earlier this month. The UN investigation had hit a road block as the government denied access to the incumbent Army Chief and other top serving military generals for interrogation. The commission wanted access to the Chief of Army Staff Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, former ISI Chief Lt.Gen Nadeem Taj and former Military Intelligence Chief Lt.Gen Nadeem Ejaz Mian among other top officials of the intelligence agencies. The UN probe commission's terms of reference said 'the government shall comply with the requests of the commission for assistance in collecting the required information and testimony, and shall provide it with the necessary facilities to enable it to discharge its mandate.' In January, the government had turned down a request made by the UN panel to record statements of Gen Kayani, who was Director General of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) at the time of Bhutto's assassination, head of Military Intelligence and other military officers. The terms of reference of the UN Commission clearly say that the commission can interview anyone, including top military and political leaders. The commission was to submit its report to UN Secretary General in six months, but its mandate was extended by three months. Now the commission is expected to submit its report on March 31st. The UN spokesman said that the commission would submit its report to the UN secretary general and also share it with the government of Pakistan. |
