Benazir's assassination: UN probe team seeks 3-month extension
The UN commission investigating the assassination of Benazir Bhutto has formally sought a three-month extension from Islamabad to complete its work, sources said on Wednesday. Chile's UN Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, who heads the commission, hinted about the delay in submitting the report. "We're working hard and advancing, but there is a great deal of work to be done," he told reporters, citing the security situation in Pakistan as a factor contributing to the delay. According to sources, once the government agreed to the extension, the commission would ask UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to extend its mandate. Posted by: Fred 2009-11-26 |
