Musharraf grilled by UN investigators

A UN commission investigating the assassination of Pakistan's ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto has questioned former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, the United Nations said yesterday.
The team arrived in Pakistan in July to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 2007 attack that left the two-time prime minister dead and met "dozens" of individuals.
"The Commission of Inquiry had a frank, open and cordial conversation with former president Musharraf, having been able to pose to him many queries on issues central to its mandate," a statement from the world body said.
Benazir, the first woman to become prime minister of a Muslim country, was killed on December 27, 2007 in a gun and suicide attack after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital Islamabad.
