UN to launch Bhutto probe 'soon'
BBC, February 5, 2009
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said he will launch "very shortly" an independent inquiry into the killing of Pakistani ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Mr Ban made the comments came after talks with senior Pakistani officials.
Ms Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack on a rally in 2007. Her death triggered riots across the country.
Islamabad's current government has rejected official Pakistani reports on the killing, and called for a wider inquiry by the UN.
Five people have been arrested in connection with the killing, but no-one has been convicted.
After talks in Islamabad, Mr Ban said: "I intend to establish very shortly an independent commission of inquiry headed by a very distinguished person, whom I'm going to nominate in a very short period of time."
