UN team inspects Benazir`s vehicle

Published August 22, 2009

RAWALPINDI, Aug 21 Members of the United Nations inquiry commission on assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto visited the Adiala police post on Friday and inspected her bullet-proof vehicle.

According to sources, they arrived at the post at about 4.30pm, remained there for one-and-a-half hours and examined the lever attached to the sun-roof of the vehicle.

The then interior ministry spokesman had claimed that Ms Bhutto died of a skull fracture caused by the lever, but her party had rejected the version and called for a UN inquiry.

The vehicle was impounded by police as a 'case property', in addition to her shoes found in the vehicle after her assassination.

Members of the commission also questioned a senior officer of Rescue 1122, Dr Abdul Rehman. Dr Rehman was in charge of Rescue 1122 on Dec 27, 2007.
