UN report on Bhutto’s assassination ‘pack of lies’: Musharraf aide | | Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf ’s close aide, Rashid Qureshi has described the UN commission’s enquiry report on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto ’s assassination as a 'pack of
lies'. Qureshi said the probe report, which blamed the then Musharraf government
of ‘deliberately’ failing to probe the December 2007 gun and bomb attack on Bhutto
, was based on rumours and that Musharraf can not be blamed for the attack. Noting
that Musharraf had himself being targeted by suicide bombers on numerous occasions,
Qureshi said: “The chief UN investigator was not the relative of Sherlock Homes.”
“ Benazir Bhutto and her chief security officer Rehman Malik decided to go ahead
with their planned election rally. It was Bhutto who exposed herself to the attacker,”
The News quoted Qureshi, as saying. The three-member UN commission’s report said
that Bhutto ’s death could have been avoided if the Musharraf government had taken
adequate security measures. The enquiry commission, headed by Chilean Ambassador
to the UN, Heraldo Munoz , in its 65-page report said that none of the concerned
authorities from the federal government to the Punjab and the Rawalpindi district
police took necessary action to prevent the terror attack on Bhutto despite having
information regarding the threat posed by extremists. |
