NA urges UN probe into BB’s killing
By Asghar Ali Mubarak

ISLAMABAD—National Assembly on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution for probe by the UN into the suicide attack on Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. While presenting the resolution in NA on Monday, Federal Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Farooq H Naik informed the House that we demand an exclusive investigation into the gruesome suicide blast that resulted in the martyrdom of our leader Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi’s Liaqat Bagh Rally on December 27.
The Members of the Assembly unanimously approved the resolution in this regard. On the occasion, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was presented in the House. It must be mentioned here that before the formation of incumbent Government, Previous Government probed the killing of BB from Scotland Yard Team but it failed to yield positive result. The SYT presented its report to the Government but PPP absolutely rejected the report and demanded to investigate the gruesome killing of BB from United Nations.
National Assembly Monday passed a resolution regarding holding the inquiry into former PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto’s murder through UN. Federal Law Minister Farooq H Naik tabled the resolution, which recommended the house to contact UN for probe into the grievous death of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, so that an international Investigation Commission is set up to investigate into the unfortunate incident. The commission will be aimed at uncovering the miscreants behind her murder, those who funded this crime and organized it. And the commission will drag the culprits to the dock. The house passed the resolution unanimously. Pakistan’s parliament, dominated by President Pervez Musharraf’s opponents, passed a resolution on Monday urging the government to seek a U.N. investigation of the killing of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack in the city of Rawalpindi on Dec. 27 as she was coming out of an election rally. “(It) should probe and identify the culprits, perpetrators, organisers and financiers behind this heinous crime and bring them to justice,” Law Minister Farooq Naek said of the investigation he wants set up.
Musharraf, who has become increasingly isolated after the crushing defeat of his allies in a Feb. 18 election, has opposed a U.N. investigation of Bhutto’s killing. British police helped investigate the assassination and they backed up the government’s explanation of how Bhutto was killed. The previous government and the U.S. CIA accused Baitullah Mehsud, an al Qaeda-linked militant commander based on the Afghan border, of killing Bhutto, a staunch supporter of the U.S.-led campaign against Islamist militancy.
