No permission to quiz army commanders in Benazir assassination case | The Pakistan government has denied giving permission to the United Nation's (UN) commission probing the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto to interrogate Army's top brass, including the Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. According
to a private television channel, the UN commission had asked the government to
grant the permission to quiz top army leaders, including army chief General Ashfaq
Kayani, former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt. Gen. Nadeem Taj and
former Military Intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Ejaz Mian. It may be noted that under
the terms and conditions of the UN commission, Islamabad has to provide access
to any official or a particular individual, who the commission considers could
throw light on the December 2007 assassination. "In the conduct of its inquiry
the commission shall enjoy the full cooperation of the government of Pakistan.
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," the commission's
mandate states. |
