Benazir’s assassination result of failures at number of levels: US | Backing the UN enquiry commission’s report over former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination,
the United States has said that the slain leader’s murder was a result of ‘failures at a number of levels.’ Interacting with media persons during a regular press
briefing, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs Philip Crowley said:
“Benazir Bhutto assassination was a result of failures at a number of levels where
she did not have the protection that she deserved and obviously needed.” Noting
that Washington “cooperated fully” with the UN investigation team, Crowley said
the US is committed to help democracy flourish in Pakistan . “The assassination
was a tragedy for the people of Pakistan . We will continue to work with Pakistan
to make sure that we build the institutions of democracy going forward,” The News
quoted Crowley , as saying. The UN enquiry commission’s report has blamed the
then Musharraf government of ‘deliberately’ failing to probe the December 2007
gun and bomb attack, saying the tragedy could have been averted if adequate security
arrangements would have been made. “The Musharraf government failed to provide
foolproof security to Ms. Bhutto which ultimately allowed a lethal assault on
her. The security breach left wide-open room for an attack to happen,” the report
said in its opening remarks. |
