A crack team from Britain’s Scotland Yard on Friday flew to Pakistan to assist a probe into the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto, a day after President Pervez Musharraf said, on television, he was “not fully satisfied” with investigations.

The five-member team from the Metropolitan Police’s Counter-Terrorism Command will meet officials from Pakistan’s interior ministry to discuss modalities of the probe and to be briefed on investigations conducted so far into the killing of Bhutto in Rawalpindi.

The interior ministry has asked the Special Investigation Group, the anti-terror wing of the Federal Investigation Agency, which is part of the ongoing investigation, to extend assistance to the British team. The team is expected to visit the site where Bhutto was attacked by a gunman and a suicide bomber after addressing the rally. It was not immediately clear how long the team would remain in Pakistan.

However, Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party reiterated its demand for an investigation into her killing by the United Nations, adding that the Scotland Yard team could be made part of such a probe.

The Pakistan government has already ruled out a probe by the UN along the lines of the world body’s inquiry into the assassination of Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri, saying the circumstances in the two countries are different. Naek said the British team should have been brought in after the October 19 suicide attack on Bhutto rally.
