Islamabad : Britain’s Scotland Yard, which probed the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto Friday handed over a report on its findings to the Pakistani police.
Officials said the head of a three-member team of British detectives which arrived here yesterday handed over the report to senior Pakistani police officials.
The report will be sent to the Pakistani Interior Ministry, the officials said.
The British High Commission is scheduled to release an “executive summary” of the Scotland Yard’s report while police in Rawalpindi will hold a news conference later in the day.
A group of forensic, computer and explosives experts from the Counter-Terrorism Command of Britain’s Metropolitan Police had come to Pakistan on January 4 after President Pervez Musharraf sought Scotland Yard’s help to probe Bhutto’s assassination.
Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi on December 27. Musharraf blamed Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud for masterminding the assassination, but the militant leader denied the charge through his spokesman.
Pakistani police yesterday announced the arrest of two “very important terrorists”, Hasnain and Rafaqat, for alleged involvement in the assassination.
