A team of British detectives will release a report on the assassination of
former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in few days, the interior
ministry said yesterday.
Addressing a press conference, Interior Ministry Spokesman Brig Javed Iqbal
said that the Scotland Yard team had gone back to London to finalize its report
after doing a lot of work in Pakistan.
Cheema said the team would return to Pakistan in the next few days and
present the report.
He also disclosed that a 15-year-old boy Aitzaz Shah was arrested from the
city of Dera Ismail Khan in connection with Bhutto's death. On his confession
another suspect Sher Zaman was arrested and some explosive materials and
detonator were recovered, Cheema said.
"They have given a statement with regard to death of Benazir Bhutto but we
cannot say anything with certainty unless there is some corroborated evidence,"
Cheema said, adding that both of the two suspects were handed over to the police
in Punjab province for further investigation.
Benazir Bhutto was killed in firing and suicide bombing attacks in the
garrison city of Rawalpindi on Dec. 27 after addressing an election rally.
