UN's Benazir assassination probe gets extension by three months | UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has extended the mandate of the UN commission probing the assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto by three months. Speaking at a regular briefing here, Ki-moon said the commission
needs more time to complete its probe. "It is a reasonable request. And I am considering
it positively since the commission needs more time to complete its work," The
News quoted Ki-moon, as saying. The three-member commission, headed by Chilean
Ambassador to the UN, Munoz, which began its work on July 1, was mandated to
submit
its report identifying facts and circumstances concerning Bhutto's tragic death
in December 2007 to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon by December,31,2009.
However,
last month, the commission had sought extension saying its work was affected by
the chaotic situation in Pakistan. |
