Scotland Yard team leaves Islamabad for London
2008-01-21
Three more Scotland Yard investigators Sunday left for London with material, evidence and statements they had collected into the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

The International detectives had arrived in Islamabad on the request of government of Pakistan to help facilitate the Pakistani investigating agencies, probing into the killing of the former premier. A six-member Scotland Yard team had also proceeded to London last Monday, taking necessary data and information they had gathered during the 10-day investigations and development made in this regard.

The international investigators during their stay visited Liaqat Bagh many times, the DHQ, RGH and MH hospitals, recorded statements of the police officials and people close to the deceased PPP chairperson. The team collected samples and also took photographs and video footage of the vehicle and place, where Benazir Bhutto was killed. The team members witnessed demonstrations time and again, of the stopping of BenazirÂ’s vehicle to understand and assess the situation. The international investigators called on the doctors and also witnessed the body parts of the unidentified victims of the blast at mortuary of DHQ hospital. The team has taken all the evidences and samples with them to come up with concrete assessment after comparison of their findings on the basis of their investigations done so far at the Scotland Yard headquarters.

The sources said that until the detectives reach a conclusion, the team members would be shuttling between London and Islamabad. The team was seen off at the Islamabad airport by the British High Commission officials, officials of Interior Ministry and police officers.
