Islamabad, July 19 (ANI): The UN inquiry commission probing the assassination of the former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has completed its first round of investigations and left the country.
During its three-day stay in Pakistan, the commission met President Asif Ali Zardari, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Interior Advisor Rehman Malik.
The three-member commission also visited Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, where Bhutto was killed in a gun and suicide attack in December 2007, The Daily Times reports.
According to sources, the commission had decided to appoint a permanent team of investigators in Pakistan to collect further information which would be helpful in the probe.
Earlier, addressing a news conference, the head of the commission, Heraldo Munoz clarified that the Commission's report would not mention any names of perpetrators of the assassination as its mandate was just to examine the facts and circumstances in which the killing was carried out.
"Our report would not be a smoking gun. We would not tell the names of perpetrators," said Munoz.
He said the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also considers the commission's work as one of the top priorities of the UN during the next few months.
"We are very much aware that this is no ordinary assignment. We have no preconceived ideas about what the outcome of our work will be. We intend to do serious and solid work that may throw light on the issues and offer a better understanding of the facts and circumstances," Munoz added. (ANI)
