British detectives will give their first report on their findings in the murder of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Benazir Bhutto to the Pakistan government this week, the Interior Ministry said on Wednesday.
A team of forensic and explosive experts from Scotland Yard spent more than two weeks in the country after President Pervez Musharraf sought British help following Benazir Bhutto's December 27 assassination in a gun and suicide attack. "They informed us that they would submit their report by Friday," Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema (Retd) told AFP.
The British investigators are due to arrive here on Thursday from London. British High Commission spokesman Aidan Liddle also confirmed the report would be presented to the government this week. Asked if the team would investigate further, Cheema said it would depend on the circumstances.
The government frequently said the investigators' task was to give their opinion on the cause of Benazir Bhutto's death to bring to an end a controversy over exactly how she died. The government said it would make Scotland Yard's findings public.
