Probe into assassination of Benazir: British HC, Ministry release working arrangements

The British High Commission and Pakistan's Interior Ministry on Friday released the working arrangements agreed between the Pakistani law enforcement agencies and the Metropolitan Police Service team assisting with the investigation into the death of Benazir Bhutto.
At the request of the Government, New Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) is deploying a team of investigators to support the Pakistani law enforcement agencies responsible for investigating the death of Benazir Bhutto.
The principal purpose of the SO15 deployment is to assist the local authorities in providing clarity regarding the precise cause of Benazir's death.
The team will provide forensic expertise and other investigative assistance as appears appropriate to the senior officer Detective Superintendent MacBrayne who will lead the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) team. The MPS officers will assist and report to the Pakistan senior investigators. The primacy and responsibility for the investigation remains with the Pakistan authorities.
It may be mentioned that MPS team will consist of experts in the areas of crime scene investigation, forensics, and evidence analysis.
The agreement on working arrangements is being published following the UK Foreign Secretary's commitment in the House of Commons on Monday 7 January 2008 to publish the team's terms of reference.
