KARACHI, Feb 9 The Scotland Yard team`s report on the assassination of Benazir Bhutto is being examined by the legal experts of the Pakistan People`s Party (PPP) and their conclusions will be submitted to the party leadership for deliberations.
Senator Farooq H. Naek, a legal adviser to the Bhutto family, said in a statement issued here on Saturday that the leadership would announce the party`s position over the issue after examining the report fully. Mr Naek is likely to discuss the Scotland Yard findings with PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari on Sunday.
He said the 70-page report had established at least one thing clearly, which was that Ms Bhutto`s death was not accidental as claimed by the government. He said the report had been based on limited evidence material.
Mr Naek said that the PPP had been calling for a UN-led probe into the assassination because it not only wanted to establish the cause of Ms Bhutto`s death, but also expose the elements behind her murder.
Detective Superintendent John MacBrayne, accompanied by a senior official from the British High Commission, had handed over the detailed report into the assassination to interim Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz during a meeting in Islamabad on Friday.
