Islamabad, April 01: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari asked the UN to delay a report on the assassination of Benazir Bhutto as he wanted investigators to quiz four personalities, including former US top diplomat Condoleezza Rice, who had prior information on threats to her life.
Zardari is “said to have quietly given names of four international personalities ? US ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, Saudi Arabian intelligence chief Prince Muqrin (bin Abdul Aziz) and the UAE intelligence chief ? to the UN inquiry commission to ask them: how did they know the secret in advance that Benazir Bhutto would be killed?,” The News daily reported today.
The UN commission has been asked to meet these “four indirect witnesses” before submitting its report on Bhutto’s assassination in 2007, the paper quoting its sources.
