Bhutto was murdered in a suicide gun-and-bomb attack in the city of Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007, after a rally to drum up support for a general election she had hoped to win. Her murder threw nuclear-armed U.S. ally Pakistan into crisis and her Pakistan People's Party rode a wave of sympathy to win the election, which was delayed until February 2008. Her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, later become president. The three-member U.N. team is headed by Chile's U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz and will take six months for its investigation. "It's a fact-finding mission. It has started work today and it'll just inquire into the facts and circumstances of the assassination," said the U.N. spokeswoman, Ishrat Rizvi. While it started its work on Wednesday, the team was not yet in Pakistan but would arrive this month, Rizvi said. The team will not be empowered to launch criminal proceedings related to the assassination. That will make it much less far-reaching than a U.N. investigation of the 2005 killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, which is intended to lead to a U.N.-organized trial in The Hague. "It's been agreed between the government and the United Nations that the duty of determining criminal responsibility of the perpetrators of the assassination remains with Pakistani authorities," said Rizvi. Pakistan's previous government, led by Pervez Musharraf, and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency accused al Qaeda-linked Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud of killing Bhutto, a staunch supporter of the U.S.-led campaign against militancy. Mehsud denied involvement. ENEMIES British police also investigated how Bhutto had been killed but not who had been responsible. Some of Bhutto's aides have expressed dissatisfaction over the previous investigations. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
