INDONESIA: Former attorney general Marzuki Darusman has been appointed a member of the UN inquiry team to investigate the 2007 assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
Marzuki told Tempointeraktif.com on Saturday that the inquiry team should get wide access from the current Pakistani government so that the team could produce credible results and accomplish its mission within six months.
"I'm together with the team that *we need* to get an agreement with the government so that the team could get access and its findings could also be accessed *by the public*," Marzuki said.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon informed Bhutto's husband, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, that the United Nations "is committed to assisting Pakistan by determining the facts and circumstances of her death," UN spokeswoman Michele Montas was quoted by Associated Press.
The three-member commission will be led by Chile's UN Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, who heads the UN Peacebuilding Commission and was a dissident during the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.The other member is Peter Fitzgerald, a retired senior officer with Ireland's national police force, Garda Siochana. - JP
