| Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States said on Monday that his government would welcome foreign experts to help investigate the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto, the New York Times reported. Ambassador Mahmud Ali Durrani, however, said that the Pakistan government would not endorse a separate inquiry like the one conducted by the United Nations into the assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri in 2005. “Pakistan is open to international expertise, international support and ... help because it’s in our interests,” Durrani said in a telephone interview, adding that the details of any assistance still needed to be worked out. Earlier, the Pakistan government refused internationals offers in this regard, saying it was capable of conducting any investigations itself. |
