Pakistan welcomes UN report on Bhutto assassination

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Friday welcomed a report by a UN-appointed panel which said the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto could have been averted.

A spokesman for President Asif Ali Zardari -- Bhutto's widower -- said in a statement "the Pakistan Peoples Party welcomes this endorsement as the main thrust of the UN report".

The independent panel Thursday said the 2007 murder of Bhutto was avoidable and the authorities deliberately failed to properly investigate her death.
