In Pakistan, the party of slain Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto is calling for a United Nations inquiry into her assassination. Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party has aired deep suspicions over the motives and identities of her assassins. PPP Information Secretary Sherry Rehman said it was important for the region’s stability that the UN intervene.

Sherry Rehman: “It is very important not just for Pakistan’s stability but the region’s stability that the United Nations intervene. We ask for, that it will be larger than a police investigation. We want the events that led up investigated. We want the sponsors, financiers, organizers and perpetrators of this crime. This is U.N language, and the UN does intervene when there is a fundamental violation and grave violation of fundamental human rights. And there is no bigger violation of our rights than this.”

On Monday, a team of Scotland Yard investigators visited a hospital in Rawalpindi to talk to witnesses injured in the attack that killed Bhutto.
