* Spokesman says it is up to the panel to decide whether to change report

UNITED NATIONS: The UN commission that investigated the assassination of Benazir Bhutto will not reopen its probe in response to the Pakistan government’s claim that two heads of state
may have new information, the United Nations said
on Wednesday.

President Asif Ali Zardari asked UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to delay the release of the commission’s report on his wife’s killing from Tuesday until April 15 and Ban agreed.

The president’s spokesman, Farhatullah Babar, said the country asked for the delay so the commission could attempt to question two heads of state who he said had called Benazir before her death warning her of “serious threats to her life.”

Babar declined to say which heads of state he was referring to.

UN spokesman Martin Nesirky was asked on Wednesday whether the three-member commission planned to question the two leaders. “The commissioners have seen a considerable amount of relevant information, including what’s been in the news media in recent days,” he replied.

“After conferring in the light of that latest information, they continue to say to us that they have concluded their work,” Nesirky said.

Further information: According to Reuters, Nesirky told reporters in New York Pakistan was free to send in any further information it believed was relevant, but it was for the panel to consider whether it needed to change the report. agencies
