Pak objects to UN report on BB murder

Islamabad raised objections over the United Nations' report on Benazir Bhutto's murder.


Express June 22, 2010

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad raised objections over the United Nations' report on Benazir Bhutto's murder, and said the extension in the commission's tenure is unjustified.

The objections have been raised by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

The foreign minister also said that international leaders advised by Pakistan have not been interviewed by the UN.

The UN submitted its report on April 15, and declared that security arrangements by Pakistan’s federal and local authorities to protect Benazir were fatally insufficient and ineffective.

It also said that subsequent investigations into her death were prejudiced and involved a whitewash.

KM | 14 years ago | Reply Delaying tactics ... Prolong it to the extent that the real killers go clean, and hence the wrongly convicted ones are endorsed. Has this country given justice to anyone? The world is excelling by adopting legal implementations that ensure NOT another vice, and ironially this so called muslim state walks otherwise.
