RAWALPINDI, Sept 27 Five members of a United Nations (UN) commission, which is investigating former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination, will arrive in Islamabad early Monday morning to begin their third working visit, officials said.

The UN commission is headed by Chile's UN ambassador Heraldo Munoz. The other members include Marzuki Darusman and Peter Fitzgerald. Six members of the UN team have already arrived in the capital city.

Ms Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack outside Liaquat Bagh as she was leaving a public rally. She was waving at PPP supporters through the sunroof of her bulletproof vehicle when a gunman opened fire on her. Seconds later explosives went off at the scene, killing at least 20 people.

Officials told Dawn that the UN team would interview “some important people in Islamabad”. —Staff Reporter
