The report was earlier scheduled to be released on March 31 but the announcement was postponed until April 15 on the request by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, Benazir's widower.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said he had asked the UN-appointed, three-member panel to include input from former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Saudi Arabia in its report.
According to the CID documents, four of the 12 militants tasked to kill Ms Bhutto belonged to Madrassa Haqqania in Akora Khattak near Peshawar, which is also referred to as Darul Uloom Haqqania Madrassa. The Madrassa is being run by Maulana Samiul Haq,
The delay in the release of the report by the investigating panel comprising of three members happened because of Islamabad's request to the U.N. commission to interrogate three leaders who are alleged of threatening Bhutto before her murder. Two of the leaders are Hamid Karzai, Afghan President and Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Secretary of State.
United Nations (UN) commission has held responsible the former President Pervez Musharraf-led government for assassination of Benazir Bhutto due to provision of poor security measures.
"Musharraf government failed to provide foolproof security to Ms. Bhutto which ultimately led to a lethal assault on her", the report's beginning statement said.
