The commission members include Marzuki Darusman, the former attorney-general of Indonesia, and Peter Fitzgerald, a veteran of the Irish National Police who has also served the UN in a number of capacities.
“The Commission has informed the Secretary-General that, as of today, all relevant facts and circumstances have been explored, and the report is now complete and ready to be delivered,” a March 31 official UN statement said.

Re: 27th December - a day to remember

^^ he may be scared of getting his own name in the suspects.... after all no body but Zardari could be the possible beneficiary of BB's death..

anyway, what about my 100 million she looted, any chance i am going to get it back??? in this world???

125

Not at all. I am myself against the present stance but I am hundred percent sure of his non involvement . I am still thinking that may be Baitullah Mehssod killed only to this reason because naturally killers of Shaheed B.B. had link with him and they must be afraid of this probe. May be they have done this by informing ....in some way.

Re: 27th December - a day to remember

^^ You are saying is confusing... who are the killers, if Bait ullah and his gang is involved ( which i doubt as he didn't need to do it, for him everyone is the same) then whats harm in naming them... if PPP cannot or does not have the balls to do it in their tenure, then they should not blame anyone at all... until the report opens and contents are analyzed, to me, the only beneficiary ( apart from Pakistani Nation) of BB's death is Asif Zardari and his current tola who didn't had a remote chance to be in senate or NA if BB had lived today...

128

Baitullah gang was working also as paid killers and they were making money from every side. I am sorry to say but the PML is also doubtful about their links with Taliban. But their issue is not under discussion at the moment but it is also a matter to think that this contact may be based on money. Think about them who were enjoying the power at that time and think who making money in partnership with those people. They were afraid of B.B. and they never wanted to see her P.M.
President Zardari is a product of greatest reaction of people of Pakistan at assassination of Shaheed B.B. If this could be managed as it was managed at assassination of Shaheed Bhutto or Liaqat Ali Khan than there was no chance for Zardari and PPP.

**Pak Punjab police claims resolving Benazir assassination plot **

Thursday, April 15, 2010,5:45 [IST
Lahore, Apr.15 (ANI): While the whole world and especially Pakistan eagerly awaits the UN enquiry commission’s report on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, which is expected to be released today (Thursday), the Punjab police has dropped a bombshell by claiming that it has already traced, arrested and put on trial the former premier’s assassins.

Buzz up!
The provincial police administration said that it has already informed the UN inquiry commission about the important development in the probe, which it described as an ‘open and shut’ case.

According to sources, the UN enquiry commission, headed by Chilean Ambassador to the UN Heraldo Munoz, was informed by the CID officials that the December 2007 gun and bomb attack targeting Bhutto was masterminded by the killed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Baitullah Mehsud.

The bomber, who exploded himself outside the Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, was one Saeed alias Bilal, a resident of South Waziristan, the CID officials had informed during the course of UN commission’s probe.

According to the CID documents, four of the 12 militants who were sent to kill Bhutto belonged to Madrassa Haqqania in Akora Khattak near Peshawar, which is also referred to as Darul Uloom Haqqania, The News reports.

When asked about the issue and that whether the Punjab CID still has the report with it, Additional Inspector General of the CID Punjab, Malik Mohammad Iqbal said : “It was a joint probe on the basis of which the challan of Benazir Bhutto murder case was submitted to a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court, which still holds ground and the trial of the arrested accused is still on.”

According to the CID’s report, Mehsud had given 400,000 rupees to one Qari Ismail, who subsequently dispatched a group of suicide bombers and shooters to Rawalpindi to kill Bhutto.

It may be noted that the UN commission’s report was due to be published last month, but the UN delayed the process following Zardari’s request.

According to the sources, Zardari has named former US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Saudi Arabia’s intelligence chief Muqran bin Abdul Aziz and the intelligence chief of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as those who had warned about Bhutto’s murder in advance.

They said that Zardari had asked the UN inquiry commission to meet these four persons before submitting its final report.

Sources said Zardari believes that information to be shared by these four personalities might help the inquiry commission to identify the real killers.

The three-member UN commission was set up following a request by the Pakistani government to probe attack on Bhutto, and began its work in July 2009. (ANI)

Riots feared on eve of UN report on Bhutto murder

http://www.gulf-times.com/site/images/spacer.gif

DPA/Islamabad
Fears of possible violence erupting were growing yesterday in Pakistan on the eve of the release of a UN fact-finding report on the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
The UN in Pakistan has stepped up security for its offices, with the possibility that they could be closed for at least three days if necessary.
“We have taken extra security measures to ensure the safety of our staff after the release of the report,” Ishrat Rizvi, a UN spokesperson in Pakistan said.
**A second UN official who spoke on condition of anonymity said it was feared that the supporters of “some person” named in the report might retaliate against the UN. **
The riots erupted across country after Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun and suicide attack on December 27, 2007 in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
Around 50 people died and several dozens more were injured in the unrest that literally shut down the country for half a week.
The three-member independent commission will submit its findings to UN General Secretary Ban-ki-moon yesterday after a two weeks delay requested by the Pakistani government, headed by President Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto’s widower.
Ban is to share the commission’s findings with Pakistan, which requested the delay so the fact-finders could question Afghan President Hamid Karzai, former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and Saudi Arabia’s intelligence chief.
Pakistan’s leaders had warned Bhutto, a two-time premier, of a possible attack against her before she returned from self-imposed exile to take part in general elections.
She survived a suicide bombing October 18, 2007, as she was moving in a massive rally from an airport in the southern city of Karachi, but dozens of her supporters died.
The government of then-president Pervez Musharraf claimed that both strikes were carried out on the orders of Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, who died in a US drone attack last year.
But her family claimed that rogue elements within the country’s law enforcement agencies could also be involved in the assassination.

	  Ms Bhutto was killed on December 27, 2007 as she left an election  campaign    rally in Rawalpindi's Liaqat Bagh. She was standing through the  sunroof of    her Pajero jeep waving to supporters as she left the venue when she  was shot    through the head by a marksman. She slumped down into the car and died  in    the arms of her political secretary Naheed Khan.

		**Related Articles**

But according to Mr Aslam, who was himself wounded in the bomb blast, Ms Bhutto’s killers were able to get close to her because of the sudden departure of Mr Malik and Mr Awan in a private Mercedes reserved as an alternative car for Ms Bhutto.
The United Nations was on Thursday night due to release a report into the circumstances surrounding Ms Bhutto’s assassination and sources close to the investigation have said it is expected to highlight a series of security failings.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Aslam said there was a car was in front of Ms Bhutto’s Pajero as she prepared to leave, and that the two ministers commandeered it in breach of protocol rules and ordered the driver to speed to the home of her husband Asif Zardari, now the country’s president.
When the police and private security teams saw the car speed away, they followed quickly behind, he said, leaving Ms Bhutto with no security protection.
“Rehman Malik and Babar Awan forced the driver of the Mercedes to leave immediately. When the [motorbike] pilot saw the car was going at full speed, he drove his bike to lead them. The police security squad and private security also followed them. When the Mitsubishi Pajero in which Benazir Bhutto was sitting came out of the gate there was no police, no private security, nothing was there the security thought she was in the Mercedes,” he said.
Mr Aslam said he saw laser beams flash past his party leader’s car and that she slumped down inside the car as the sound of bullets flew around. An explosion followed the shots, leaving 35 people dead, he said.
He had been just in front of Ms Bhutto’s car when a bomb exploded a few metres away. He was seen in television footage at the time sitting bewildered among dead colleagues and stray shoes with an open leg wound.
Fauzia Wahab, the Pakistan Peoples Party’s information secretary and a close aide of President Asif Zardari, confirmed that Mr Malik and Mr Awan had left Ms Bhutto behind in Liaqat Bagh. “Once she [Ms Bhutto] was down [from the stage], they grabbed the car and rushed to Mr Zardari’s house to welcome her,” she said.
She said on the night before the rally, Ms Bhutto had been visited at her residence by the head of the ISI intelligence agency to warn her there was a threat to her life and that she should cancel the meeting in Liaqat Bagh. It is not clear whether Mr Malik, as her head of security, was aware of the threat when he left Ms Bhutto’s convoy.

Benazir Bhutto murder ‘avoidable’
** Police security provided for Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on the day of her killing was “fatally insufficient”, a report has said. **
The finding comes from an independent commission appointed by the UN.
Ms Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack after addressing an election rally near Islamabad more than two years ago.
The commission was set up in July last year in response to a request from Pakistan.
The commission also says it believes the Pakistani police’s failure to probe the death of Ms Bhutto was “deliberate”.
The commission has delayed the report’s release for two weeks.
The delay came after an urgent request from Ms Bhutto’s widower, Pakistani President Asif Zardari.
Members of Ms Bhutto’s political party did not trust the military-led government running the country when she died.
And her widower, Mr Zardari, continued to call for a UN investigation even after he became president and his party was elected to power.
** Strong emotions **
The three-member panel was mandated to investigate the facts and circumstances of Ms Bhutto’s death, not assign criminal responsibility.
But anything related to her assassination stirs up strong emotions, and suspense was heightened when Mr Zardari made a last-minute request to delay the report’s release by two weeks, the BBC’s Barbara Plett says.
It is not clear why. The government said it wanted extra time to include input from Afghanistan, the United States and Saudi Arabia, three countries that had apparently warned Ms Bhutto of a death threat.
But while accepting the delay, the commission insisted its report was complete.
The former military leader, Pervez Musharraf, had declared that the late head of the Pakistani Taliban, Beitullah Mehsud, was the assassin. And Ms Bhutto herself wrote that four suicide squads were after her, some linked to al-Qaeda.
But she also accused a group of senior politicians and intelligence officials of plotting to kill her, and many of her followers blame elements of the military establishment and Mr Musharraf’s government for her death.

**NEW YORK: A three-member United Nations commission investigating the events and circumstances surrounding Benazir Bhutto’s assassination has blamed the government of former president Pervez Musharraf for the murder, saying it failed to provide adequate a security cover to the former prime minister. **
Although no functionary of the former government has been accused of complicity in the murder, the 65-page report has blamed Pervez Musharraf’s government, particularly its police and security network of negligence.
It said the present government was free to carry out further investigations and bring those responsible for the crime as well as negligence to justice.
The three-member panel, headed by Chilean ambassador Heraldo Munoz, submitted its report to UN Secretary General Ban ki Moon on Thursday afternoon. He immediately handed it over to Pakistan’s UN envoy Hussain Haroon. However, at the eleventh hour Islamabad decided against making its content public before the findings were studied by senior government officials.
Senior officials of Pakistan’s mission had earlier indicated that on receiving the UN Commission’s report Ambassador Hussain Haroon would share its findings at a news conference.
However, the media event was postponed at the last minute and it was announced that the findings would now be made public in Islamabad by senior members of the government. Still, the UN secretariat decided that it was too important a report to be kept hidden from the public, and at a hurriedly arranged news conference made the report public.
As people in Pakistan waited eagerly for the release of the findings of the UN probe body, security in the country was beefed up, with United Nations mission in Pakistan advising its staff to act cautiously and avoid going to public places.
Though details contained in the report were not known, UN officials stationed in Pakistan were not prepared to take any chances, fearing a possible backlash.
Pakistani officials said police and paramilitary troops were on high alert, and security was being stepped up outside the foreign missions and UN office, but only as a precautionary measure.
In Islamabad, a senior official earlier said there were no startling revelations in the report. The 3-member probe body headed by the Chilean ambassador to the UN has mostly relied on evidence collected by talking to the same set of officials and other people who had already made their views public. Analysts say its hard to believe that the Un panel would clear state its views on any major conspiracy involving state or non-state actors in the assassination.
The UN panel was to hand over its report on March 30 but on the request of the Pakistani authorities it delayed release by two weeks.
An official of the UN told the media in New York that despite this delay no fresh detatils were inserted into the report.

• UN probe was “hampered” by Pakistani intelligence
• Police failure to probe the assassination “deliberate”
• Security arrangements were “fatally insufficient”
• Several conspiracy theories have been circulating since the assassination
• Need for criminal investigation to look into the role of Al Qaeda, Taliban, and what is known in Pakistan as “establishment”
• Declaration by government that Benazir was killed by a hatch of the vehicle, and that Baitullah Mehsud was responsible were premature, and before proper investigation
• Hosing of the area of bomb blast and failure to conduct post-mortem badly affected investigation. Officials and their superior responsible
• Responsibility of the present government to carry out serious investigation to bring the conspirator and perpetrator of the crime to justice.

                                                         Islamabad, Apr.16 (ANI): The UN enquiry commission’s report regarding [former  Pakistan Prime Minister](http://www.duniyalive.com/?tag=former-pakistan-prime-minister) Benazir Bhutto’s assassination may pave way  for another ‘proper’ investigation into the December 2007 gun and bomb  attack, a close aide of [President  Asif Ali Zardari](http://www.duniyalive.com/?tag=president-asif-ali-zardari) has said.

The 65-page UN report has blamed the then Musharraf government of ‘deliberately’ failing to probe the attack, saying the tragedy could have been averted if adequate security arrangements would have been made.
It also found that the investigation into Bhutto’s death was severely hampered by intelligence agencies and other government officials, ‘which impeded an unfettered search for the truth.’
Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said the report backed up the Pakistan People’’s Party’’s belief that Musharraf or his allies were responsible for Bhutto’’s death.
Farahnaz Ispahani, one of Zardari’s close aide, said that following the UN’s report, the government is contemplating a proper police investigation and ‘possible penal proceedings.’
The PPP government is expected to issue a detailed reaction over the inquiry report later today (Friday), The Dawn reports.

Pasha Sb i just dont understand the logic although tragic it was no doubt but do you mean if we can find a clear man then it is a must to admire a tainted one.
its fine if u spend 100times more for a person to face justice whats wrong with that.
is it money or ethics.
