UN commission on Benazir’s assassination ‘making progress’
UNITED NATIONS: The chairman of the UN commission investigating the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on Tuesday said it was making progress, but could not say whether its report would be ready by the end of the year.
“It is really hard to say,” Ambassador Heraldo Munoz of Chile, who heads the commission, said when asked at a news briefing whether the report would be presented to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon by December 31. “We’re working hard and advancing, but there is a great deal of work to be done,” he added.
Ambassador Munoz praised the cooperation extended by the government of Pakistan, the civil society and the country’s politicians. “We have interviewed many people,” the chairman said. When asked about an Indian press report that the commission was finding it hard to interview former president Pervez Musharraf, Ambassador Munoz said, “That is incorrect”. Sources said the commission would make their third and final trip to Pakistan at the end of this month. app
