UN Decleres Musharraf Government Responsible For Benazir Bhutto’s Murder

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.
