Islamabad, Feb.6 (ANI): The United Nations commission investigating former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination is likely to return to Pakistan later this month to continue its probe.

“Some people belonging to the commission are already in Pakistan,” The Dawn quoted the spokesperson, as saying.

However, the commission had sought extension saying its work was affected by the chaotic situation in Pakistan.
Therequest has been accepted, and the commission has now to submit its report by March 31. (ANI)
