The United Nations formally announced on Friday that the report on Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto's assassination will be presented to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday, April 15. The UN chief will share the report with the Pakistani government and submit it to the Security Council for information.
At the regular noon briefing at UN Headquarters in New York, Spokesman Farhan Haq also announced that Chilean Ambassador Heraldo Muoz, who headed the Independent Commission of Inquiry, would release the report at a press conference Thursday afternoon. Earlier this week, the spokesperson denied Pakistani media report that the government has sought further delay in the release of the report. "We have received no such request," Spokesperson Farhan Haq said, in response to questions. On March 30, Ban Ki-moon accepted a request from President Asif Ali Zardari to delay the release of a report until April 15.
