Inquiry into Benazir`s murder

Published January 2, 2009

Mr Zardari was quoted from Nau Dero (by a TV channel) that he knows the killers and he will expose their names.

He also said that 'friends' asking him questions about the killers should come and help him, sounds as if Mr Zardari is under some kind of pressure.

He has said it many times that his own life is at risk, maybe conditional to his naming the killers.

If this may be the story, then it is very sad that a president of the country having full security protection and chief of the party, finds himself helpless before the criminals and killers of Benazir Bhutto.

If Mr Zardari knows the killers, then hiding them for a whole year is not justified for law and order of the country and also for the understanding of the party workers that the killers are still unknown.

BBC radio that presented a special programme on the first death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto, said that the UN commission for investigating Ms Bhutto's death will only be a fact - finding commission and its results will not be binding on anyone.

The cost involved will be $40m and will be paid by the government of Pakistan.

So if Mr Zardari knows the killers, then why should there be a call for UN commission and why should the national exchequer part with this heavy amount, especially if its results will not help identify the killers as against the expectation of the PPP workers and the nation that the UN commission will reveal the killers?
