RAWALPINDI, March 13 Federal Investigation Agency here on Saturday submitted before the court conducting the trial in Benazir Bhutto assassination case that the federal government was waiting for the report of United Nations commission.
Putting off the hearing till March 27 the court directed the FIA to submit complete investigation report against the five arrested men as the trial could not be halted for indefinite period.
